Each row is one full target, with the bonus the last hit adds. Gathering teas add to it. Hits assume you never hit the bonus marker. The Stone Pickaxe wastes part of every hit on ore nodes and animals, so it gets less than the full amount there and those counts are averages. Compare every tool.
- The Stone Pickaxe also mines the Satellite Remains and breaks the monument blockers.

Methodology
Tested in game: we gave the Stone Pickaxe to a player on our own server and used it on every ore node and every animal in the table above until it was empty, three times each, and counted the hits, the wear and every item it handed out. Time is the hits times the swing time. Tested on the current version of Rust.
