A trusty axe. (DST)”
–Wurt
The Axe is a Tool that can be used to chop down Trees. It can be crafted at the beginning of the game with 1 Twig and 1 Flint. An Axe can also be used as a weapon, dealing 27.2 damage on each hit. With either usage, an Axe has enough durability for 100 swings. When used to chop down Trees, Axe requires 5 chops for small, 10 for medium, and 15 for large Trees. Dead or burnt Trees require only one swing. Currently, the amount of chopping required is independent of the type of the Tree.
In the Shipwrecked DLC, Axes can be obtained from the Slot Machine and Steamer Trunk. Luxury Axes can be obtained from the Slot Machine and X Marks the Spot and by using a Trawl Net in the Ocean.
In the Hamlet DLC, Axes can be bought for 5 Oincs at the Pigg and Pigglet's General Store in the Pig City. Three of them are also required to craft the Pigg and Pigglet's General Store using the Key to the City.
To chop down a Tree with the Axe, players can right-click it from the inventory to equip it and left-click the Tree (Or press "X" in the console edition). Once the player begins to chop the Tree, holding down the LMB or Spacebar will have the player character keep chopping until the Tree falls. Alternatively, one can chop faster by repeatedly clicking LMB with specific timing.
In addition to chopping down trees, Axes are used in the following crafting recipes.
Outside of chopping trees, the Axe can be a cheap tool to be used as a weapon for early game survival.
