Copper is a resource.

Summary

Copper (Cu) is a resource.

The Korvax often ask for 10 of this in exchange for a word of their language.

Game description

A chromatic metal, generated by fusion in the heart of a star. Such stellar material ends up forming deposits in the crust of local planets.

Copper is found on planets orbiting yellow stars, and can be placed in a Refiner to create purified Chromatic Metal for use in the manufacture of advanced technologies.

Sources

It can be found on planets orbiting yellow stars.

Mining

A Terrain Manipulator or Autonomous Mining Units are needed to mine copper deposits. A Mineral Extractor is required to harvest copper located using the Survey Device upgrade to the Analysis Visor.

Source

Copper can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

• Copper x1  +   Chromatic Metal x1  →   Copper x2  ("Chromatic Expansion", ? sec./unit output)

Use
