Where to find and farm Copper in Lightyear Frontier
There are many resources to find and gather in Lightyear Frontier, and some are available only after you complete a certain objective or two. One such resource is Copper, which you must unlock before you can find and farm it in Lightyear Frontier. To unlock Copper in Lightyear Frontier, you must complete the mission 'Restore Edge Cliffs'. The mission can be found in the Edge Cliffs biome south of The Meadow, where you first start the game. How to unlock Copper in Lightyear Frontier Completing the Restore Edge Cliffs mission requires you to clear the biome of Noxious Weeds using your mech's Vacuum Harvester. The mission is similar in structure to 'Restore Pine Heights' (to get those Red Crystals), but doesn't require you to also clean up Noxious Slime. Walk around the area and remove all the red, gnarly weeds growing around the biome. Once you reach 100% completion, the mission is finished and you can view the area in full detail on your map. Screenshot by Destructoid To get Copper to spawn in Edge Cliffs, you'll need to sleep at least once after finishing the aforementioned mission. Doing so will cause Copper Deposits to appear in a few key areas in Edge Cliffs, growing out of nodes in the ground. The largest source of Copper is near the southern border of the biome. I'd avoid the tree since it only has a single node. Like with Aluminum, you can mine for Copper Ore using your Spike Saw.
