The Pitchfork is a Tool used for digging up Turfs in Tile-sized chunks. It requires 2 Twigs and 2 Flint to craft and a Science Machine to prototype.

Usage

Once the Pitchfork is equipped, a square outline will appear on the ground showing the patch that the cursor is hovering over, along with a prompt. Right-clicking will dig up the outlined terrain, leaving a barren patch in its place. Turf items can only be placed on this sort of barren terrain. 

The Pitchfork has 200 uses (800 for snazzy pitchfork), which means that 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 decent fuel value, coupled with the Pitchfork's high durability and speed, makes Turfs one of the easiest options for fueling Campfires and Fire Pits. Turfs are not renewable, however.

Dug up Turf can be replaced with other kinds of Turfs (e.g. Wooden Flooring). This is useful for decoration or for preventing Lureplants and Eyeplants from spawning. Replacing the terrain with Cobblestones can be used to increase the walking speed in certain areas (e.g. your camp) or build roads for often used paths.

Downloadable Content

In the Hamlet DLC, Pitchforks can be bought for 5 Oincs at the Pigg and Pigglet's General Store. Pitchforks cannot dig up Deep Rainforest or Gas Rainforest Turfs and will lose all durability if it digs up Gas Rainforest Turfs.

Tips

• The Pitchfork is immensely useful in the Shipwrecked DLC, as even if an island is big in the game, it may not always have the correct turfs for growing trees, therefore a player can relocate turfs for easy tree farming.

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 had a value of 1-10 Science Points depending on its durability.
• 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.
• Wortox's quote is a reference to demons often being depicted with pitchforks, as he is an imp.
