[0.4.6] — 2026-06-23 — Pickaxe mining rebalance (gems now required for efficient rock farming)

Changed

• Resonating Pickaxe Rocks Power 1.0 -> 0.35. 0.4.5 raised the pickaxe Quality to Mithril-tier so it could break high-end ore, but Power on the Rocks gather type was left at 1.0 — and Mithril Ore actually mines as a Rocks block in vanilla Hytale (not as its own OreMithril type). The result: empty pickaxe was tapping Mithril in ~12 hits, no harder than basic stone. New curve at Mithril (~12 HP):
  • Empty pickaxe: ~35 taps (impractical for serious farming)
  • 1× T5 Pristine Power: ~16 taps
  • 2× T5 Pristine Power: ~10 taps
