No copper ore anywhere?

[Daeminos]

I have played 3 maps now 1 small 1 med and 1 large and in all 3 there have been no copper ore to speak of. It says in the wiki that copper is the first tier of ore and that it should be found in the surface deposits. I find lead and tin but no copper. The only way I have ben able to make it is by using a silt extractor. Is this normal?

[SCOTT]

first tier: copper or tin
2nd tier: iron or lead
3rd tier: silver or tungsten
4th tier: gold or platinum

When you crate a new world, it will pick one ore from each tier, never both.
Any item you can make with copper, you can make with tin instead.
Any item you can make with iron, you can make with lead instead.
etc.

not quite scott. For a magic staff, you have to have the right ore otherwise you cant make it

You probobly just have random luck of getting tin instead of cooper, thier basically the same.

I dunno... I consider myself lucky for getting all four of the traditional ores in my first generated world. It seems tin, lead and tungsten are more comonly generated in most worlds now.

In the 1.2 update there were 4 pre hardmode ores for the substitues of the normal ones added. Interestingly enough, the alternates are better.

This becomes a major problem when it comes to making the 1.4 sword The Zenith. It requires specifically a copper shortsword. So if you dont have a copper world and you didnt keep your copper shortsword from the beginning of the game. You have to resort to getting lucky with a brown chest or the extracanator

All you really need to do in order to fix this is to create another character. Every character starts with a copper shortsword.

And...

and im pretty sure for the depth thing you need copper ore or else you cant make it

[CrusherDalton]

It could also be that your world difficulty is extreme and u need to be on normal

The depth meter is a drop. You cannot craft it.

World difficulty does not affect ore generation.

I get this post is supposed to be dead, but Journey Mode. Journey Mode characters DONT start with a Copper Shortsword. They start with iron tools, INCLUDING an Iron Shortsword
