Copper is a resource.

Summary[]

Copper (Cu) is a resource.

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.

Source[]

Copper sources include:

Resource Deposits and Hotspots on planets orbiting yellow stars.
Galactic Trade Terminals.
Secondary element in cave minerals (rare).

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.

Refining[]

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

Copper ×1 + Chromatic Metal ×1 → Copper ×2 ("Chromatic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Use[]
