Addon update suggestion: Tiered picks and boxes
Hey Emperor, I wanted to suggest something for your mining addon that I'm already in the midst of incorporating into a server I am helping make. Like the title says, I intend to incorporate multiple tiers of pickaxes and boxes into the addon that result in higher chances to recieve ores from mined nodes, as well as various carrying capacities for the players to bring back and forth to and from their mining buyer.

Simply put, I intend to change the math.random(1,20) < 4 portion of the node base lua and change it to run the random number generator against a dmg:GetDamage check from the pickaxe itself, and use the pickaxe damage to decide the odds of an ore drop.

The box part is easy, just going to add more box models and change their capacity, drawn gui, and buyer box positions accordingly. Your code is pretty uniformly made, so both of these changes would be incredibly easy.

The only thing I can't really do is change how the pickaxes look without changing their colors, which would be silly. However if you like this idea and add it to the addon, I'd love to see more pickaxe skins be made to represent these new pickaxes.

Thanks if you read this, and if you do decide to add the idea, please let me know! I'd love to see that being done, and maybe help with anything to see it happen.
