Copper Ore

1. Select a patch and reserve room for drills, belts, and furnaces.
2. Place drills over the patch and connect their fuel or power.
3. Route copper ore along its own belt toward the smelter.
4. Smelt ore into copper plates and carry plates on a separate output route.
5. Send plates to cable assemblers or other copper consumers.
6. Check whether mining, smelting, or transport is limiting plate delivery.
7. Expand the line or connect another patch when factory demand exceeds supply.

Farming tips

• Circuit production can raise copper demand quickly; watch the cable line as you expand.
• Standard map generation tends to place richer patches farther from the start, though settings vary.
