In Green Hell, the pickaxe is a key progression tool. Without it, you cannot mine iron ore, which means no metal weapons, tools, or upgrades. Whether you are still surviving on stone tools or stepping into metal crafting, knowing how to get and use a pickaxe properly saves time, resources, and frustration.

Stone Pickaxe materials

The Stone Pickaxe is usually your first mining tool. You can craft it as soon as you have basic survival resources. Here is what you need for the craft:

  • Stone Blade (crafted using 2x Stone)
  • Rope x1
  • Long Stick x1

How to craft a Stone Pickaxe

Open your crafting interface using the crafting rock or radial menu. Place one stick, one rope, and one stone blade into the crafting area.

Craft the item once the recipe appears to create the Stone Pickaxe. This pickaxe is enough to start mining iron, but it wears down quickly, so plan your cave runs carefully.

Where to use the pickaxe effectively

Pickaxes are mainly used inside caves. Look for iron ore veins embedded in cave walls. These veins have a distinct orange-brown color and cannot be harvested with any other tool.

Caves are also dangerous locations, often hosting predators or scorpions, so it’s best to prepare before entering.
