Starting on the nearest Black Forest edge, I look for nearby ores and burial chambers to mark.

When mining, I drop a couple campfires to protect my back ... As I collect more unwanted rock with the copper, I drop more campfires around me. When inventory weight limit is reached, I trigger Eikthyr power and beeline it to back to base.

The fires deter the greydwarfs from swarming ... I can handle them one at a time.

If a troll shows up, I have to decide if I'm up for a fight now or later.

On my current seed, I have almost 3 stacks *each* of copper and tin waiting to be smelt ... But stuck at only 3 cores found!!!
