Design doc: https://hackmd.io/@ASO4nZ-8S9eoQdhojH1tYg/HJ1Hk2yz2
The entire idea can be boiled down to the Summary in the Design Doc. The new pickaxe will be mostly just a frame, where you can swap mining heads by just using 3 units of the materials themselves, the mining power would be calculated based on the hardness and density of the current material in the pickaxe head. Maybe make a new framework on pickaxe modifications, and maybe extend the rework to other tools.
In my idea, I just want to make the pickaxe head modification more obvious for new players, to incentivate them modifying their pickaxes to be better at hitting rocks, and make MatSci pickaxes more easy to craft for more experienced miners, and maybe scale the damage with the mining power of the pickaxe (because I've played too much DRG recently to not make miners more robust.)
If any experienced or newbie miner wants to give their opinions about this, it will be much appreciated. I'll code the idea up and make a few sprites if people think this would be a good addition.
