Metal Hoe

Metal Hoes can only be made from tool metals. They can be cast in ceramic molds, or worked on a metal anvil.

Casting

Main article: Casting

Bismuth Bronze, Black Bronze, Bronze, and Copper Hoes can be cast using a Vessel or a Ceramic Mold instead of working on an anvil.

Vessel

Place an empty or partially filled Hoe mold into the slot to fill it with metal from the vessel. It takes 100 units of metal to completely fill an empty Ceramic Mold. The text in the vessel's GUI will be updated to show the amount of metal remaining in the vessel.

Smithing

Main article: Working

Hoe Heads can also be crafted by using ingots on an anvil with a hammer. This is the only option for higher tier metals that cannot be cast. The durability depends both on the metal used and the skill of the smith forging the tool.

Usage

Hoes can be used to turn grass or dirt into farmland, as well as check the nutrient and water levels of the farmland, and the harvest state of growing crops.

Hoe Modes

While you can switch to different modes on any hoe, only metal hoes are able to utilize Nutrient mode and show the different nutrient levels of the farmland. The mode of the hoe can be changed by pressing the Cycle Tool Mold key (Default:M), while having the hoe equipped.

< Mode Indicator

Preparation mode

Standard use, tilling soil into farm-plots, can be used with stone and metal hoes alike.

Nutrient mode

Displays the nutrients available in prepared farmland, colored Red, Orange, and Yellow, for nutrients A, B, and C (colors can be set in config). Nutrient mode is only accessible when the player's Agriculture skill is at least Expert.

Water mode

Highlights the target farmland with black: no water access, and blue: water access.

Harvest mode

Highlights the farmland with a green display for finished crops and red for those whom are still growing into maturity.
