Iron Rock Drill
A drill used to retreive geological samples and discover what treasures can be found underground.
Notes
The Iron Rock Drill is a tier 2 tool used for extracting geological samples to reveal underground resources. With 15 calories per use and a maximum durability of 2,000, it strikes a balance between early efficiency and moderate longevity for prospecting operations. For best results, pair it with a steady food supply to offset the calorie cost, and scrap it with a Scrap Tool recipe when worn out to recover materials.
