This is for new players it will give you more stone than a pickaxe happy playing good luck surviving 👍

You can get better versions of this from the blue drops in the swamp cave (alphas don't drop better versions of these)

For example, I got a ramshackle stone axe from one of these.

Being a Stone Beginner Tool it is cheap and worse than most tools but good for early game grinding of resource
