Haha yeah someone gave me one in the market in nople the other day. Unfortunately it was the only thing pretty much of the load of nice stuff a guy gave me (two guys actually, the first was lonely man and the next I don't remember his name off the top of my head because I just kinned him earlier but he was stocking the south westernmost of the market stalls there) along with the several things I had bought there with forage that wasn't stolen when some pumpkinhead grabbed my boat out of the middle of the market when I took it off my head to switch out bricks I had in my inventory (the guy at the sw stall wanted me to make him a bunch of yellow bricks for a robe) for the chants I was going to use to buy some food. I say unfortunately not because the shovel isn't a fine tool, but because i managed to get in the boat with the bastard before he took off and my sling was in one of the damn chests.
But yeah its nice. I still wouldn't mind seeing a machine that does it a lot faster, like immediately, for when you want to clear out a long stretch for a highway. I was thinking of maybe building a big arse road from one of the big cities to wherever (the edge of the world or until I quit) if I don't just quit now and wait for world four, but the thought of all the stumps I'd be clearing for a five lane is daunting even with the shovel.
EDIT: Just noticed that that top paragraph is the longest run on sentence in the history of the internet. Awesome.
