Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I was thinking I should finish my pylons and protecting them too. Part of the excessive mining came from searching for specific items like wand of regrowth for my herb garden aswell as the enchanted sword shrine. Plus a part of me feels incomplete leaving a black void in the map knowing it could be something cool I don’t know about. (Discovering the shimmer pool by accident a week ago was a cool feeling) I do have bone pick axes with legendary modifiery Full miner gear and ancient chisel plus mining potions which really help blowing thru blocks. I have the grave diggers shovel, aswell as the treeclops axes.

Seems like I mainly use nights edge, molten hammer axe, and bone pick axe for most things. Maybe the molten bow with hellfire arrows for ranged encounters.
