Game Mechanics axe reshapes tiles instead of hammer

[ashtimbo]

I think the axe should reshape tiles instead of the hammer so you don't accidentally shape a tile when trying to break a wall. It would give the axe another use instead of just for cutting down trees and would be extremely helpful for building

This would be 100000000000000% times better than it's now. Thanks for the idea.

This is understandable, but makes no sense at all.

Both hammer and axe have very limited uses, but it wouldn't make much sense for the pickaxe-axe hybrids to let them change and destroy blocks.
Which means you would have another tool carrying around at the time you have hybrid tools.

Destroying walls happens when holding the button, but changing tiles only at button presses, so I think it should be good if the button is held before focussing on a block.

This wouldn't be so compatible with endgame because you've got hamaxes, which will have the same issue even when switching hammers & axes, and you've got drillaxes, which will lead us to another (possibly more frustrating) problem (you may remove tiles accidentally when you're trying to remove walls).

Right-clicking a tile with a hammer in hand could reshape a tile, while left-click would retain it's wall breaking ability. There could also be a setting to toggle which click does what, or if you'd prefer both actions being binded to one button.

Another solution could be making right-click mend cracked walls, incase you accidently only partially broke a wall.
