Concrete Pickaxe

Concrete and rebar instead of stone, otherwise the same day-one pick: stones and wood, no bench, 100 durability. A skin, not a tool of its own.

Overview

In-game description
A salvaged piece of concrete and rebar with a sharp edge. Can be used to harvest Stone, Metal ore and Sulfur ore.

Pick it when you want the stone pickaxe job done with a different look. The two share everything this page lists: 100 stones and 200 wood, no workbench, 100 durability. Nothing in the numbers says it hits harder or lasts longer.

So treat it exactly like the stone pick. It gets you the first stacks of stone and ore on day one, breaks fast, and gets replaced by a metal pickaxe the moment a Level 1 bench is down.

It has a twin for trees, the concrete hatchet, a skin of the stone hatchet in the same way. Both are crafted as the plain stone tools, which every player knows from the start, and take the concrete look only if you own the skin. Without it, you lose nothing.
