How hard is it to find copper?

7 posts in this topic

So I've been traveling a lot in all 4 directions of the world, I've gathered a stack of cassiterite, bismuthine, tetrahedrite and sphalerite each but not an ounce of native copper.

 

Am I just extremely unlucky, or is that how it's supposed to be? And also, can I smelt tetrahedrite in a primitive kiln, or is it just native copper as I've read Dunk saying something about it being available on the surface in it's native form being important to humanity's ability to smelt it in primitive fire?

well you can smelt tetrahedrite in a ceramic vessel in a kiln aswell.

i never found native copper, but 2-3 tetra deposits and 1 cass/sphalerite and bismuth

on my last server, i used mostly bismuth bronze, cuz u need lesser copper for that alloy XD

You need to go to the alloy page in the wiki and calculate the right amount of ore to get the right % of each metal.

You can mix small and normal ore pieces, small is 10 metal units and normal is 25.

4 to 10? Doesn't seem like it's that worth mining ;P

 

Anyway, thanks for response.

There is no alloy that has those three things.  Regular bronze takes just copper and tin, while bismuth bronze takes copper, bismuth, and zinc.  Cassiterite is a tin ore, not a zinc ore.

If you can find Basalt, it's Native Copper Heaven. I spawned in Basalt, so I can only really say that it was incredibly easy to find the stuff.
