Copper is a Refined Metal and can be refined from Copper Ore.

Usage

As a Refined Metal, Copper can be used to build advanced Power systems, buildings and Automation systems. Its decor bonus of +20% is helpful when building decor relevant buildings.

Exosuit Forge produces Atmo Suit with Copper and Reed Fiber:

300 kg Copper + 2 unit Reed Fiber = 1 unit Atmo Suit

Production

Metal Refinery produces Copper from Copper Ore with 100% efficiency:

100 kg Copper Ore = 100 kg Copper

Smooth Hatch eats Copper Ore and excretes Copper with 75% efficiency while requires no Power and generates no heat.

Rock Crusher produces Copper and Sand from Copper Ore:

100 kg Copper Ore = 50 kg Copper + 50 kg Sand

Some Meteor Showers in Space Biome bring Copper Ore.
