To gather copper, you need to unlock the third area on the map, Edge Cliffs. In case you haven’t found Edge Cliffs yet, just venture southeast till you end up in a new area with new missions. You first need to clear the area from debris and restore it before you can find anything. There are some Noxious weeds and sludge that you need to get rid of. Also, you have to feed the animals by giving them Nice Fodder from the Doffer Oven. You can find two animal nests on the cliffs and one inside a cave near the base of the cliff. Once you have restored Edge Cliffs and fed the animals, you will find the path leading up to the cliff will appear. At the side of this path are several copper nodes. Use your upgraded Spike Saw to mine copper from these nodes
To craft Copper Wire, use the Assembler at your base. You will need 2x copper ore to craft 1x copper wire. Occasionally you might also get a free Copper Wire by using the Assembler for crafting.

I’m confused. In order to get the copper I need to clean the area. In order to clean the area I need the upgraded harvester tool for the weeds. In order to upgrade the harvester tool I need copper wire. How do I fix this cycle???
No, you can clear the area without upgrading the harvester tool. Vacuum Harvester Power 1, which is the first upgrade requires Copper Wire and Carrot Oil. Both are found in Cliffs Edge once you clear it. We also have a YouTube channel, you can check this video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJI4DnU_o0M
