Without a doubt, this is one of the best additions to the early game. I can understand why some in the community might have expected a more specialized use for copper, but ultimately, it’s worth noting that copper is extremely easy to obtain without needing to explore caves making it a perfect material for casual players, newcomers, and those who prefer to save their iron for later. This armor doesn't need any fancy features; it simply provides the basic protection needed to explore at night or venture into caves without too much trouble.
