Matheld Posted June 24 Report Posted June 24 The concept behind them is great, a shovel specifically meant to get rid of snow and push it around? to save your regular shovels durability? But in practice? .. It's not better, or faster, than just using a regular shovel to clear an area of snow. Whether it's skill issue on my part, I haven't been able to get them to shovel snow at all on stone paths. They also haven't been the most reliable in actually pushing snow around on ground with grass on it (the main reason I am clearing an area of snow is to harvest a lot of grass with a scythe), and sure, that makes sense realistically too I guess. But I think it's just that the grass hitbox gets in the way of the shovelling mechanic. But even on perfectly flat ground, such as an ice field, it just isn't as reliable, or faster; than a regular shovel is at clearing snow. The time it would've taken me to start from one end and push snow to the other, I could've probably done a lap and back with a regular shovel. A few ways that could make it better at it's job, is a configurable mode or two. Such as... Maybe the shovel can cover a large area? 3 blocks? 2 blocks? It would help clear a larger area faster than you would with a regular shovel. Maybe the shovel only push snow to one side, rather than both; Your choice. How many times did I have to go back and redo a straight line I had already shovelled, because snow had fallen down from the side when I shovelled the adjacent straight line next to it? Too many times. It's tedious, and IRL, I would angle the shovel diagonally to push snow either left or right when shovelling. Anyway, those are my thoughts. Also hello, my first post on the forums. Nice to meet you. 3
