Copper Ore is a common resource found in the world. It is smelted into Copper Ingots for further processing.
Obtaining[]
Resource acquisition[]
Copper Ore can be harvested by hand (default E) in trace amounts from resource deposits scattered across the world, or from inexhaustible resource nodes on which Miners can be constructed to extract automatically. Additionally, Lizard Doggos will occasionally bring it when tamed.

Number of nodes |
Mk.3 mining rate |
Mk.3 mining rate at 250 % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impure | 9 | 1,080 | 2,700 |
| Normal | 28 | 6,720 | 16,800 |
| Pure | 12 | 5,760 | 9,360* / 14,400 |
| Total | 49 | 13,560 | 28,860* / 33,900 |
*Note: The extraction rate of a Miner Mk.3 at 250 % is 1,200/min, but a Mk.5 Conveyor can only carry 780/min, therefore the maximum mined amount cannot be transported.
