Pickaxe

When will I need to upgrade my pickaxe from the antler pick to bronze or something else? What ores will need a new pick?

ok didnt find core wood yet thought there was a glitch the image was of my lv 3 forge crafting list

Core wood is from Pine trees. The really tall skinny ones in the Black Forest. Usually not on the edges with other biomes, that's where Fir Trees grow.

You can craft bronze one from copper and tin.
You won't "need" to actually replace the antler one until you get iron.
You need the iron pickax for silver and obsidian.

Yes. For anything past iron. Also it will make mining go far quicker. The upside of further pickaxes is they mine faster and last longer. The downside is they need a forge to repair so you can't just slap down and cover a workbench like the antler pick. However its easy enough to make a travel portal and pop back home for repairs, though you'll have to take the long way to bring ores back.
For example a basic bronze pickaxe is about 25% faster (more mining damage per swing) at mining than the antler with more durability(which goes even further thanks to less swings needed). Fully upgraded it's almost 100% faster and nearly 300% more durable, meaning it nets you about 6 times the mining before needing repairs.
