Awesome, thank you for the information!

Hello all. I am new to this game and only been playing for 2 days. I am struggling with using the prospect tool and finding ores. specially copper / Malachite. everywhere i check the prospecting tool just gives a low indication of some random ores but can't for the life of me find any copper / malachite or other useful ores like Tin / Iron... So obviously i am doing something wrong. do i just mine tunnels and then prospect at random depths? or do i keep prospecting like i do now on the surface? where exactly is it best to find Malachite to make copper? any tips are very much welcome as i simply cannot find any copper besides some bits on the surface..
