How to Make Copper Wire in Lightyear Frontier
Copper wire is made from raw copper in the Assembler. First, you need to farm a bunch of copper from around the map, then process it through the Assembler. For every one copper wire you want to make, you will need to have two raw copper ore. This means that you need to take however much copper wire you want to make and pick up double that number of ore. Once you have all the copper you need, you just need to process it.
