Follow the interaction prompt shown in your game. For PC gathering tools, a developer gives E as the interaction example; equipped tools such as a chisel are used automatically on an appropriate target.
Equipped is different from held
If you are trying to hold a chisel or trowel and nothing happens, read the tool guide. The developer explains that these gathering tools work through interaction once equipped.
Mouse wheel or middle-button trouble
Players have raised wheel and middle-mouse concerns in Steam discussions. Check your current input settings for available rebinding options, but don’t assume every action can be rebound: that has not been verified here.
Controller prompts
Use the button shown for your active input device. This page does not invent a controller layout from keyboard controls. Include your controller model and input mode when reporting a mismatch.
