Go on a lucky day. Check the TV. If the spirits are in a good mood, you’ll find copper nodes everywhere. It’s like the mine is handing you free samples.
Bring a stack of stairs (or at least 5). If you hit a floor that’s a spiral of nothing but grey stone, just drop a staircase. No shame in skipping a bad floor. Your time is valuable.
Always have a spare chest by the mine entrance. That way, you can dump your copper, go back in, and grab more. It’s like having a second fridge for your ore.
The Emotional Payoff
The best part about finding all that copper? You get to make stuff. Suddenly, you can build a dozen kegs. You can upgrade your axe to cut down big trees. You can craft tappers for your oak trees.
One day, you’re scraping by with a rusty watering can. The next, you’re running around with copper sprinklers and wondering why you ever watered crops by hand. That feeling? It’s the best.
So next time you need copper, don’t wander aimlessly. Head straight for floors 21 to 39. Throw on some upbeat music, grab your pickaxe, and enjoy the rhythm of the mine. You’ll have a chest full of ore before you know it.
Happy mining, friend. Your farm is about to get a whole lot shinier.
