There are many tools to use within the world of Eco. Keep in mind, that in order to obtain certain resources, you MUST use the designated tool to collect them.

Tiers

The different tool tiers differ by how many calories you use per action.

For example, the wooden shovel takes 50 calories per dig action. An iron shovel takes only 5 calories.

Damaged Tools

Damaged/broken tools can still be used, but the calorie cost of using them drastically increases (5x). Tools can be repaired at the Tool Bench.

Types of tools

Axe

The Axe is a tool used for chopping Trees.
There are various tiers of axe that are available, and each one is craftable.

Bow

A free Bow is provided upon first leveling up the Hunting skill in the Hunter skill tree. Further bows can be crafted at a Workbench.

Hammer

The Hammer is a tool used to pick up certain items and blocks, as well as to place various housing materials. The hammer can be used to return furniture, Crafting Table, and most placed blocks to the player's Backpack.
