How to make Copper Sheets in Satisfactory to build a Refinery
Coffee Stain StudiosWhether you’re early on in Satisfactory or are just looking to power your factory, you’ll need Copper Sheets. However, crafting this item isn’t always an easy process, especially if you’re looking to farm it.
While Satisfactory is certainly an adventure, it’s by no means an easy game to play. To master your factory and build the most efficient machines you can, you’ll need to have a full understanding of the required machines and what they can do for you.
To craft said machines, you’ll need resources, and one of those is Copper Sheets.
Copper Sheets are used for a variety of recipes, whether that’s creating Flood Lights, Refinerys, Billboards, or otherwise. So, to help you master your factory and survive on this strange planet, here’s how to make Copper Sheets in Satisfactory, as well as the best farming techniques and all their uses.
Copper Sheets recipe
To make Copper Sheets in Satisfactory, you’ll need two Copper Ingots and a Constructor, which means you’ll need to unlock Part Assembly, found in tier two.
Thankfully, the recipe isn’t too complicated, and once you’ve found a Copper Ore vein, you’ll be well on your way to getting hold of Copper Sheets.

Best way to farm Copper Sheets
Dexerto / Coffee Stain StudiosWhen it comes to creating tons of Copper Sheets, you’ll need to find an efficient way to farm this resource. Thankfully, this can be done relatively soon into the game.
All you need to do is create a Smelter to craft Copper Ingots, then use a conveyor belt to bring those ingots to a Splitter. One side of that splitter can go to a container while the other heads to the Constructor.
Then, simply connect the other two lanes with a merger, so the creation sends through the two Copper Ingots to the Constructor and places any leftover resources back into the container.
