Creamy Pure Ore Tea

Cream turns the pure ore tea into a short, hard burst. Worth it when a jackhammer and a tight cluster of nodes let you hit rock without stopping.

Overview

In-game description
A pure ore tea, provides hydration and temporarily increases your yield when harvesting ores a large amount. Enriched with cream for a stronger, shorter lived effect.

Every second of this cup should land on a rock. The Pure Ore Tea already increases your yield from ores a large amount, and three cream make that stronger but shorter, so any time spent walking between nodes is time thrown away.

That is why it belongs with a jackhammer. A pickaxe needs so many swings per node that a short buff ends after a handful of them. A jackhammer chews through a node fast, and on a cluster of sulfur close together you finish one, step to the next and keep drilling the whole time.

A typical use: someone found four or five sulfur nodes in sight of each other near the base. You check that nobody is around, drink at the first node and drill without a break. Every extra bit of sulfur ore turns into explosives later.

The short timer has one more upside. A jackhammer is loud, and if someone comes over to check and you have to drop the run, you lose far less of a short cup than of a long one.
