why are all the copper deep underground? i can not get to it

[-Ripper-]

So i need copper in early game.. started all over since so many changes the last year...

So now i need copper to get that lighningrod from forest trader... well all the copper i scan are a rock several meter underground... so my resource lasers can not hit it!! so what do i do now ?

i also need copper to buy that mining laser... is that what suppose to dig them up ?

lol the description saying exacly thats the problem and you need this tool.. but you need copper to get tool ... smart....so i need copper to get copper... ! chicken and the egg thing faulty logic on this! :) perhaps some plant drop copper in small amount?

To get started your best best are the bases and chests dotted around. You'll find copper in the silos and some of the chests. After you get the lightning rod the lightning forest isn't a problem anymore as they changed the rod to work all the time instead of their hilariously odd "must have power to deploy...and being struck won't recharge you so good luck"

They have the Mining cannon available from the trader too but just a heads up, it's painfully slow going. It is just a placeholder(it's even the old bright pink asset they used) but I think they derped a little with the variables assigned to it.

i try that mineing turret.. its huge and slow.. and take a while to dig.. and it mess up the landscape.. did not like that style :) even it make sense that ore are underground... prolly should make it more effective digger:)

If I had to guess, there's probably something in the newer mining cannon set that's on the live 0.5 version causing issues with the new build in 0.6 so they've gone back to the old basic version for now BUT didn't change any of it's variables so we end up with something derpy feeling

ignore copper that at normal wood land , just kill the boss and head to that electric trees , all copper nodes near them just half buried , then you can progress and get digging tool to dig for that burden nods , its simple

if You can, build nano upa sieve, then lack of copper is no longer an issue xD
