Trenchman does not appear to be impacting shoveling speed as much as it should.
This was tested by comparing the speed at which an Iron Shovel could dig a hole between r0 Trenchman and r5 Trenchman (35% decreased time to dig a hole).
Steps to replicate:
1. Acquire a shovel
2. Dig a hole (make sure you're on a valid tile first)
3. Observe speed it takes to dig said hole.
4. Buy Trenchman up to SR 5.
5. Dig a hole again.
6. Compare speed of hole digging.
With as substantial a time decrease as 35% of the base speed it shouldn't be difficult to notice the difference. It's about 4-5~ seconds to dig a hole without Trenchman so it stands to reason that with SR 5 Trenchman it'd instead take around 2.6-3.25~ seconds. Instead it's still about the same amount of time.
