You need tools to get wood and stone. They get damaged with every hit. So make sure to craft at least a few of them. Low tier tools are less durable, and high tier wood is difficult to cut and stones are difficult to break. This means that even though you CAN break a marble rock with a copper pickaxe, you will probably need a lot of them.
