Copper Concentrate
Copper ore that has been concentrated to remove impurities. Ore concentrate is used by smiths to smelt metal bars.
Notes
Copper Concentrate is an intermediate material created by processing copper ore to remove impurities, which smiths then smelt into copper bars. It is a solid block that stacks to 10 and is carried on the player's back. A practical tip: because concentrate is lighter and more efficient to smelt than raw ore, setting up a concentration step near your mine can save significant hauling and fuel costs during large-scale copper production.
