CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Copper Ingot acquisition

Build a Smelter and select Copper Ingot after unlocking the recipe. Copper Ingots are manufactured, so find Copper Ore on the resource map rather than looking for an ingot node.

Copper Ingots are smelted from Copper Ore and used to make basic parts such as Wire, Copper Sheets, and Copper Powder. The default recipe uses a Smelter. Copper Ore extraction and delivery are the production bottleneck; each ingot needs one ore, so maintain a consistent Miner-to-Smelter feed.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

  • Unlock the Copper Ingot recipe and Smelter.
  • For one batch: 1 Copper Ore produces 1 Copper Ingot.
  1. Open the on-page resource map and filter for Copper Ore.
  2. Inspect node purity and choose an accessible node; the map shows standard layout, so match settings if your world randomizes resources or purity.
  3. Place a Miner on the node and route ore to the Smelter.
  4. Select Copper Ingot and supply Copper Ore.
  5. Collect the output and route it to Wire, Copper Sheets, or another recipe that needs ingots.
  6. Add storage or adjust delivery when downstream demand exceeds Smelter output.

Crafting tips

  • At 100% clock, the Smelter uses 30 Copper Ore and produces 30 Copper Ingots per minute.
  • Copper Ingots are also an ingredient in Copper FICSMAS Ornaments during the event.

Repeat, collect and use

Run the Smelter while ingots are needed; maintain a buffer sized for current manufacturing and event demand.

Common mistakes

  • Do not search for Copper Ingot resource nodes; mine Copper Ore and smelt it.
  • Do not assume a map node’s location or purity is valid in a randomized world.

When to stop or switch

Stop or throttle the Smelter when the ingot reserve meets your next production target or ore supply is required elsewhere.
