How To Get 200+ Copper A Day
A lot of people I've noticed are having trouble finding copper. Going outside and hitting rocks with their pick axes. (Most of which you can't break because you need the upgraded one, which requires copper.) The trick is to go into the Abandoned Ruins UNDER the Church. It costs 80 Gols to get in, so just cut down and sell wood until you can afford it.

Now, when you get in, THERE ARE NO VISIBLE STONES TO HIT. So it may seem empty at first.

The ground is colored differently depending on the Ore that's in it. A dark rusty brown for copper, you have to actually look at the discoloration on the floor, and then swing your pick axe there.

This will deform the terrain and you'll begin digging a tunnel. Try to only hit where it's brown to save stamina. You should exit the ruins with at least 80 - 100 copper if not more at level 1 - 5. More if you're higher level and you have a bit more stamina, or brought some food and drink to restore it.

This is ALSO HOW you find power stones to run your machinery. They are abundant, so you should leave with at least 5 - 10 each time you go down.

Now, use your sand and wood to make glass. The commission board always has someone asking for glass, and it pays around 250 gols per commission. (Usually 4 - 6 pieces.)

If you find a data disk, take it to the Research Center behind the school and talk to Petra. It will give you new blueprints for your workshop. Ignore Data disks, they're not available in the alpha.

Data discs are available in the Alpha. I take them to Petra for upgrades to my blueprints. But you can also take the to Nora (the church), and they'll give you seeds.

In the build that I downloaded the other day it gave me an in-game note saying they don't work in this build. I even tried going to Petra a couple of times, and there's no options. Unless there was an update from then until now. If there was, I haven't got it.

The demo doesn't have anything to do with datadisks, the current build has even 2 uses for them. Research and farming.

See my previous reply about what is in the demo. And I think it is still alpha version 2.0 or 2.1 (bottom right corner). Current version for kickstarters is 3.7.

Unfortunately I am not a backer. So I am limited only to the steam demo.

It's fine, I'll purchase the game when it's released. For now I'll keep an eye on it.
