It would be awesome if the mining pick and axe had similar speed to the sickle, not to mention how amazing the animation is, it feels so much more powerful like you’re obliterating stuff.
Not only would it give a little added bonus to the pick/axe (faster gathering speed like sickle) but could also make it feel more impactful and fun, slamming down the pick and exploding the metal deposit, or do a single powerful axe swing and blasting a tree with lightning.
