To get to these memetics nodes, you’ll need to research the previous ones like Smelting Essentials and Copper Pickaxes.
Now that you have the right recipe you’ll need to gather the materials, especially the Bronze Ingots. You’ll need to smelt some in the Furnace and each ingot will need the following materials:
- 5 Tin Ore
- 3 Copper Ore

Craft around 7 Bronze Ingots before you continue.
Now that you have all the Bronze Ingots you need, you can then go to a Supplies Workbench and select the Bronze Pickaxe recipe. To craft the tool, you’ll need the following materials:
- 5 Logs
- 7 Bronze Ingots
- 1 Hide
Once you press the craft button, you’ll then need to wait a few seconds before you can claim the Bronze Ingot. Now that you have a better pickaxe, try to gather more resources with it!
