WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Original-map Strata 1 Copper Vein at X78/Y63; other listed Strata 1 options are X153/Y119 and X276/Y185.
The original-map resource index records multiple Strata 1 copper veins. Reach one, hand-mine its exposed ore, and process the material for the Lima copper conversion. Since veins are finite, keep the other listed sites as your next stops rather than expecting a deposit to refill.
Before you go Base campaign on the original map, with access to Strata 1. Standard Pickaxe for hand mining, or a Mining Drill after unlocking it. A smelter or the applicable Terminal Lima conversion task to process ore. Use the resource index’s original-map listing to identify the X78/Y63 Strata 1 copper vein. Travel through explored cave passages to the marked site and confirm the exposed copper deposit. Mine Copper Ore by hand with the Standard Pickaxe, or place a Mining Drill if you have the required equipment. Carry the ore back to the factory or route it to the processing area. Use the Terminal Lima copper conversion task when it is active; its listed exchange is five Copper Ingots for two Copper Ore. Keep ingots for copper components, wire, and the next requested progression items. When the first deposit is exhausted, travel to X153/Y119 or X276/Y185 and repeat. Farming tips The resource listing confirms locations and that veins are finite; it does not provide vein quantities or a refill interval. Keep raw ore separate from ingots so you can tell which stock remains available for terminal conversions. Repeat, collect and use Repeat across the listed Strata 1 veins while deposits remain. Each vein is finite, so this is a sequence of sites rather than a regenerating farm.
Common mistakes Expecting a depleted vein to refill: move to another listed copper location. Using the wrong map or stratum: verify the original-map Strata 1 entry before setting out. Spending all raw copper on general crafting: reserve ore if the Lima conversion task is still ahead. When to stop or switch Leave a site when its deposit is depleted or the remaining ore is inconvenient to collect; shift to another copper vein or an automated supply.
