Copper Plate

A solid copper plate giving higher grades of protection against erosion and improves conductivity.

Notes

Copper Plate is a refined industrial part crafted from copper, used as a component in several advanced machines including the Boiler, Oil Refinery, and Power Hammer. It also serves as a mintable item, with each plate able to be turned into up to 10,000 coins at a Mint, making it a potential backing material for a player-created currency. If you have surplus copper plates, minting them can provide a tangible, resource-backed foundation for your town's economy.
