Basalt

[Its Almost Harvesting Season]

I need to find Basalt, right now. I just converted a basalt pickaxe into a copper pickaxe at a shrine... Yet for some reason the copper pickaxe is worse than basalt. Now I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and can't acquire ore once again. Took me 30 hours just to find the basalt stones required and this is enough of a setback I'm tempted to restart the whole playthrough.

Mine grass blocks until your mining is a high enough level to mine again.

restarting just useless, keep going

Check mountainous areas for basalt
or if you got iron ore (from dudes in the machine) or steel ore (from them bell monster) from enemies go to port Kapul and join fighters guild and use their smelter make sure to bring wood for fuel for smelter
