Copper

Copper is an early-game equivalent of Iron, that can provide a nice bit of extra Metal if needed. Copper is mainly found on Tind.
== Obtaining ==
To find Copper naturally, you must use a Tier 3 Geologist. Copper has a good (ie green) chance of being found on Tind and has a small chance (ie red) of being found on Zaheria. It cannot be found on any other continent.
If buying on the Resource Exchange, Copper is usually pretty expensive as it is only found on Tind, where very few players are located.
== Uses ==
 Copper only really has one use, which is to turn into Metal through the Open-Pit Mine (Copper). This is very similar to most other Metal factories except that it is available a tier later, consumes slightly more resources and puts out slightly more output. This increased output makes Open-Pit Mines better than Iron Smelters and Bauxite Mines but like all Metal factories from about t5 - t6 onwards it's easier to do 5 Temperate Terrorists a day (through cards).
