Loaded Excavator

The Loaded Excavator is a Hardmode tool obtained by crafting an Excavator together with any pickaxe/drill.

To use the Loaded Excavator, the player must right-click while holding it. It will display a map and ask you to select what portion you want to excavate. To select a portion, the player must select two points, and then they will form a rectangle. If the blocks in the rectangle are all able to be mined by the pickaxe "infused" within the Loaded Excavator, the Loaded Excavator will then "excavate" by removing all blocks in that area and charging the player a price. Note that the player will not obtain the blocks excavated, so this cannot be used for quick mining.

The price is calculated by this formula:

(Area excavated / Pickaxe power + Distance from player) * 10

The player then pays that amount in copper coins.

After using the Loaded Excavator, it turns back into whatever pickaxe/drill you crafted with the Excavator. Because of this, the Excavator is a one-time use tool.
