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
4 Iron Meteoric iron, pentlandite (nickel), rhodochrosite (manganese), uranium
5 Steel Ilmenite (titane), chromite (chrome)

*Silex can be mined with your bare hands.
**Saltpeter can be mined faster by using a shovel.

Harvesting

  Pickaxes are used to harvest rocks . This requires to break all 6 surrounding blocks of the rock block you want (4 sides, above and below). The central block will drop on the ground and allow you to pick it up intact.
  Pickaxes are used to break rocks to obtain stones .
      Pickaxes are used to break rocks containing ore deposits to obtain chunks of ore. Those have to be crushed with a hammer in the Crafting Grid to obtain smeltable nuggets.
    Pickaxes are used to break rocks containing minerals (quartz, borax, peridot, etc) to extract those minerals.
