For real though, mining copper is the worst mining grind in the game, ino. The nodes are huge and you gotta dig down a lot to get it all.

I went trough copper and iron grind around 10-15 times and in my opinion its just a horrible experience... i can't imagine starting new playthrough without a mod that reduces it thats why im asking
