Copper
Copper is recorded by the official wiki as Solid with density 200. Copper comes from hard Copper Ore and melts in a Smelter at the documented one-to-one conversion into Liquid Copper.
Confirmed Acquisition
The confirmed sources for Copper are Copper Ore. This establishes the acquisition route, but it does not establish an unstated ratio, cycle time, per-second yield or automated layout.
Production-Chain Role
Copper has Copper Ore upstream, Smelter as processing, and Liquid Copper downstream. These links define the documented chain, not an unstated quantity or optimal layout.
Entity-Specific Behavior
Copper comes from hard Copper Ore and melts in a Smelter at the documented one-to-one conversion into Liquid Copper. Ordinary flames cannot melt it, so the Smelter heat stage is not interchangeable with casual Fire exposure.
Evidence Limits
Copper Ore yield, extraction rate, Smelter processing time and heat use are not documented. The blank Interactions field does not add another recipe, and shared ore logistics still require deliberate filtering.

Official wiki tip
Because Sand and Copper Ore are often found together, you can use the same logistics to bring both materials to your factory, and then divide them with Filters for processing.
