Pitchfork

"Maxwell might be looking for this."

- Wilson The Pitchfork is a tool used for digging up Turfs. It can also be used as a weapon. It requires 2 Twigs and 2 Flint to craft and a Science Machine to prototype.

Usage
Once the Pitchfork is equipped, there will be a green square on the ground showing the patch of ground that the cursor is hovering over, along with a prompt. Clicking the right mouse button will dig up the selected terrain, leaving a barren patch in its place. Only barren terrain can be replaced with a turf in the inventory. The Pitchfork has 200 uses meaning each time it digs up a turf, it will lose 0.5% durability. It can also be used as a weapon which deals 17 damage but suffers higher durability loss per hit (4%).

A Turf's instant availability and good fuel value coupled with the Pitchfork's high durability and quickness makes using Turfs one of the best options for fueling Campfires and Fire Pits. Turfs are not renewable, however.

Trivia

 * Shovels were previously used to dig up Turfs.
 * The Pitchfork was added in the Progress update.
 * It previously cost 30 Science Points to craft, and used to have a value of 1-10 Science Points depending on its durability.
 * There is data on a "Golden Pitchfork", which was never implemented, and no information is given on its use.
 * The player is able to dig the special glowing turf found in the Ruins; however, it will not drop the turf as an item, preventing the player from collecting it.
 * When Wilson examines a Pitchfork, he says, "Maxwell might be looking for this", which is probably a jab at Maxwell being referred to as a demon.
 * When Maxwell examines a Pitchfork, he says, "The tool of choice for prefectionists." This is probably a joke referring to how the Pitchfork is mostly used to move the turf for decoration purposes despite the different kind of turfs having numerous uses to them.
