How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Copper at 35 and Platinum at 60 to see early gains. Try Adamantite at 100 and Molten at 150 to see hamaxe lead. The math is amount times factor, with percent as base.
Molten Hamaxe tops trees at 150 despite being pre hardmode. Chlorophyte Greataxe is 115. Pickaxe Axe is 110 with pick 200. Axe power is not chop speed. Chainsaws cut faster at same power due to low mining speed. We leave chainsaws out for that reason. We leave out Titanium 105, Orichalcum 90, Palladium 75, Drax 110, Spectre 150, Luminite 150 and The Axe 175 to keep 15.
