Tool Tier | Tool material | Ore that can be mined |
---|---|---|
2 | Copper | Native copper, malachite (copper), galena (lead), cassiterite (tin), sphalerite (zinc), bismuthinite (bismuth), halite (salt), sylvine (saltpeter), sulfur, lapis lazuli, marble, corundum, alum, brown coal |
3 | Bronze | Hematite/magnetite/limonite (iron), borax, quartz, native gold, native silver, fluorite, graphite, kernite, phosphorite, olivine, peridot, cinnaber, emerald, diamond, black coal, anthracite |

*Silex can be mined with your bare hands.
**Saltpeter can be mined faster by using a shovel.
Harvesting
Pickaxes are used to harvest rocks, which include ores and minerals. When blocks are broken, rocks, small stones or ores contained in chunks of stone will be dropped. Ores inside rocks have to be crushed with a hammer, place both in the Crafting Grid to obtain smeltable nuggets.

- Tin-bronze pickaxe: for an average price of 4 rusty gears.
- Bismuth-bronze pickaxe: for an average price of 5 rusty gears.
