| Rock Smash (unbuffed) | 20 | 20 | 1200 | 33% of best |
| Rock Smash + Hamburger Steak | 20 | 20 | 1200 | 33% of best |

Key Insight: Rollout + Hamburger Steak = 4.2× Efficiency
In late-game mine shafts, Rollout covers ~3× the area per action compared to Rock Smash. Combined with Hamburger Steak buff (which removes the hardness penalty on granite/steel/crystal), this produces roughly 4.2× the resource output vs unbuffed Rock Smash. For vertical mining in Sparkling Skylands crystal caves, pair Magnet Rise with Hamburger Steak for aerial block harvesting.
