Usage

They are crucial for gathering and modifying wooden materials, for building various structures, clearing the land of trees, or assisting in animal hunting. Most types of axes are equally useful in combat, a few types are even specialised for such a role.

Different axes take less time to complete certain tasks:

  • The woodsman's axe, for example, is the best axe at cutting down trees.
  • The broad axe is the best at forming tree trunks into logs and smoothing log cabin walls.
  • The carving axe is the best at carving and carving log cabin walls.
  • The splitting axe is the best at splitting logs and tree trunks into blocks and splitting blocks into firewood.
  • etc.

In general, paying attention to the message given when attempting an action will reveal the best tool for the task.

Availability

All of the axes but the stone axe must be traded for.  The stone axe can be made from one slender tree trunk, one rope and one stone, using a knife, but it is poorly suited for most tasks.

Starting scenarios

If you choose the Lonely Settler starting scenario, you will acquire a carving axe, a splitting axe, and a broad axe.
