[BUG] Invincible tools seem to get destroyed (workaround)

[grdryn]

I created I gold pickaxe and axe since they are quicker to break some materials now. They deteriorate as if they weren't invincible, and eventually disappear. You don't actually lose your tool though, it's still in your hand/inventory, even if you can't see it.

To make it appear again, open your inventory, and put something else into the space where your invisible tool is. You will now see that the tool reappears again, with full tool health!

I second this.

 

[MrJangles]

Looking into it. Thanks

[astraeasan]

[grdryn]

Yeah, it's a new addition in 1.2, gold tools break stone and wood more quickly:

wait if gold tools are faster but not at the same time.. why dont we just have all the tools infininte?

 

[Tiggerxplur]

gold tools have always had the same durability as wood tools it only seems quicker cause the mine thing quicker

 

[grdryn]

My workaround no longer works, gold tools disappear and don't seem to want to come back. :/

Might I suggest a gold tools kit? Or gold tools in the main tools kit?

I second gold tools being added to the main kit. Its much easier when mining stone and cutting wood.

 

[MrJangles]

Agreed. Gold tools will be indestructible, but you'll have to earn them yourself.

Fair enough. I managed to break mine when it stopped being repaired. So i guess i'll make another.

 

[astraeasan]

is it now indestructable again?
my gold pickaxe was destroyed while mining and I don't want to risk another one

 

[Garquille]

Not yet as of now; mine just broke.
