I though it was the other way around. The pickaxe is so fast and mines 9 square at a time.

Maybe it was just me then, but it took almost as long to farm cobblestone with the iron axe. Maybe I should look for some better ores.

Yeah that's one thing that has irked me so far. The matter manipulator is a cool idea in a game like this, because I hate carrying around multiple tools to do the things I want to do, but it is made obsolete so quickly by stone tools. Hopefully there is a way to upgrade it to bring it up to speed with specialized tools so it is at least a competitive choice. Right now it's sitting in my inventory and I haven't used it in hours. It seems like a waste for it to just be your introductory tool, to never be seen again once you get a cobblestone mining pick.

I think there will be an upgrade but it would more of a mid-late game thing.

Just to make sure, you did use a PICKaxe, right? because the AXE is only for wood.

Also, how do you make an iron pickaxe? I could only make copper and silver.

And since we are at it, how do you get to a friends ship?

Edit: Nvm, just found it on the post that you can warp to a friends ship once they are in your party by clicking on their portrait.

I found some iron ore and smelted it to iron bars-> combined with wooden planks I made a iron pickaxe (it has the shape of one as well).

Anyone else not get the molten core drop from the penguin ship boss? Rather frustrating. Only gripe so far though.

First I made a Stone Furnace to smelt the iron ore I found. Then I simply experimented at the work bench and saw couple of stuff I could make with the iron bars.

Experimented? I only got schematics on the left, which i can use to build stuff. And none of those is an iron pickaxe. If i search for pick, i only see the stone one.

Regarding the boss, you can cheese it pretty easily, and i think that is kind of necessary since you only got iron gear before you kill it. Firstly, save any bombs/grenades you found, they will be very helpful.

The way we beat it was having a multistory house with a small balcony and beds inside. The ship appeared above, through soldier below and on the roof, and we could pop onto the balcony and shoot it with iron bow for ages until it died. Sometimes you take damage and have to sleep.

You need to make an iron anvil to create any tools past the basic ones. That's where you should be able to iron+ tools and weapons/armour.

Yes. When I come home after the "Weihnachtsfeier" today, I can have a look again and tell you how it worked with me.

I got an iron anvil. There i can craft a lot of stuff. But no iron pickaxes. For me the progression was stone-copper-silver-gold so far, all upgrading the previous one. I even got the upgraded anvil for steel stuff. And no steel pickaxe either. Or is it one of the 6 weapons at the beginning of the list which all don't look like a pickaxe in the slightest?

What the fuck. I just discovered a legendary weapon in my backpack that I hadn't looked at before. It's a Bonehammer and it smashes an area of like 40-50 tiles and destroys them in 2-3 hits. Ridiculous.

Yeah so far I like the itemization in this game. Found a legendary sword on my second planet that does mediocre damage but swings super fast and shoots out poison cloud projectiles when I swing that I've been using to cheese monsters around corners, etc. and kill birds with.

I'm impressed so far. As someone who couldn't really get into Terraria at all, I'm having a blast. It's probably partially helped by the SciFi theme, but the game is solid, even though it's still an early beta. I had one crash about 10 minutes into my first play session, but haven't crashed in 3 hours since.
