It is used mainly for breaking stones and picking up placed equipment or furniture items (such as floors and sprinklers). It is also used to un-till soil that has been tilled with a Hoe.

With each upgrade level, the number of hits required to break stones is reduced and bigger stones may become breakable.

Using the pickaxe on a Monster will deal a small portion of damage, similar to other weapons.
