PC A Fireman's axe mod does 25% more damage against blocks, is as good as a grave digger mod that does 25% against dirt?

Aren't they the same?

I mean, 25 = 25; if you got the numbers right, then sure, in that regard they are the same. Then again, iirc, you can't put the axe mod on a shovel, and the grave digger doesn't affect wood.

The fireman's axe mod can double up with the wood splitter mod, to make axes even better at chopping down wood.

An axe with that mod might have the same % damage increase, but an axe doesn't do as much damage to dirt as a shovel, so you can't just put that on an axe and use the axe to dig as well as using a shovel to dig, if that's what you're wondering.

That's what I was thinking

No, they are different multipliers


Fireman's Axe Mod:
<passive_effect name="BlockDamage" operation="perc_add" value=".25"/>
This adds damage to the BASE, and only the base

Grave Digger:
<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value=".25" tags="earth"/>
This adds to the overall damage

For the context of an axe, the wood splitter is almost the same, even though it's only 15%. Sometimes it's a couple of points of damage less, sometimes it's a little more

tags="earth"/>

that tag is the material type then I take it. Probably is the same tag they use to associate sounds of impact I am guessing.

yes, they are a value in the materials xml to determine the sounds they make when stepped on,  as well as damage type for the sounds and visual when hit
