>It's easier to find copper than iron. So for players early in a player journey, we think it will be helpful if we add this tier of copper tools between stone and iron.
>I'm hoping that the update will see a lot more people using copper and making sure to mine it and put it into tools. It fits really nicely into the sort of early game progression, using copper for things you maybe would have before even been stuck on stone or, you know, had to decide whether you want to use iron for.
When has anyone ever complained about not being able to find iron easily or worried about what to use it for?
