Where to Find Copper Ore

Copper Ore can be found in two areas: Edge Cliffs and Lowland Plains. Like other ore types, Copper Ore juts out of rocky mounds in crystal deposits. You will recognize the Copper Ore deposits by their bright rust-orange color.

Use your Spike Saw to dig out the ore and keep it in your inventory. It can be pretty heavy so if you collect a lot of Copper Ore you can store it back at your camp. If you carry too much while out exploring you may become over-encumbered which will slow down your journey home. You can overcome this by upgrading your storage capacity at the Upgrade Depot.

The ore deposits recover over time, so you can go back to the same spots and harvest more when you need to. If you find they are not restored fast enough, you can speed up the process by feeding the nearby creatures at their nests. The happier the creatures are the more resources you will find!

Now you have all the Copper Ore and Copper Wire you can wish for, you can start crafting, building and upgrading! For more help on creating the perfect world in Lightyear Frontier, check out our other guides on the best places to build a camp and how to get Red Crystal Dust!
