No Copper on the Ground Level (Underdust Lab)

[Queensglaive]

Could be just me but cannot find copper after reaching the elevator (disclaimer: have not gone into the tunnels yet) and it seems the POI resets if you go too far away (and you would have to redo all the oxygen stations). Need to craft a lot of items after the elevator, but then cannot get resources like copper there. Recommend mining a few stacks of copper before getting there.

Just pick up copper from the windpark (blue) towers before going to the big ones. There's so much copper in the game ... As for Underdust - have you tried looking real closely for exposed cables? I found two copper there yesterday, it was really hard to spot since it's small.

eh no.

I feel like elevator already has too many resources in it, its designed like a endgame "point of no return" almost where you stop worrying about gathering since everything's at your fingertips.

Also as for Batteries, there are more than enough lying around in the level often right next to the oxygen station. Offhand i can think of 7 batteries in the level. I think there's enough to activate every oxygen station without crafting a battery.

*edit*

Apparently coppers already there lol.

I have to say the level design down there is fantastic. Every time i revisit, i find a little secret i didnt notice last time. Maybe there's a motherboard tucked away, there's 3 transformers in there.
