Fluxbore

The Fluxbore is an item added by Thermal Innovation. It is a pickaxe-shovel hybrid that is powered by RF as opposed to consuming durability.

Thermal 1.19.2
The mod update substantially changed how the fluxbore is made and upgraded. In place of the tool being upgraded by tiers, augments can be added to improve the performance and range of the tool. See Thermalpedia for details under Equipment > Tools.

The bore must be inputted into the left slot of a powered tinker's workbench in order to add augments. Click the button to switch from charging to augment mode. The augments are then added into the slots on the right and will be applied when the fluxbore is removed. They can be removed by inputting the fluxbore again and removing the augment. Hardenened upgradeand up cannot be applied to the fluxbore.s


 * Radial augments increase the range of the bore, for example from mining 1 block to mining 3 blocks, then 5. Adding additional radial augments increases the maximum range.
 * Flux augments increase the fluxbore's energy capacity, allowing extended use between charges

Click the button again in the tinkers workbench to switch to charging mode in order to charge the tool.

Usage
The Fluxbore when initially crafted has no power. It can be charged in an Energetic Infuser. Each block mined uses 200 RF.

The Fluxbore has five mining modes that can be switched between using the "Cycle Item Mode" key ( by default):
 * Single Block
 * Tunnel: 1x2
 * Area: 3x3 (not available for Basic Fluxbore)
 * Area: 3x3x3 (not available for Basic, Hardened and Reinforced Fluxbore)
 * Area: 5x5 (not available for Basic, Hardened, Reinforced and Signalum Fluxbore)

The Fluxbore can be dyed by crafting it with a dye. Dyed Fluxbores can be crafted back into the original color.

Enchantments
Fluxbores can be enchanted with pickaxe enchantments from Vanilla, as well as some enchantments added by mods, such as CoFH Core. Unbreaking reduces RF consumption while Holding increases RF capacity.

Tiers
The Fluxbore comes in 5 tiers, including an extra Creative tier which is not craftable or obtainable through normal gameplay. Higher tiers have increased energy storage capacity and enchantability, mine faster, has more mining modes, and increasing mining level.
