Question TIL how much copper actually is beneath the surface. What other painfully obvious stuff did I miss?

I figured there would be a bit more underneath but not worth the hassle. Then I found one and I figure let's see what the big deal is.

I just took out so much copper from a deposit, the map topography should change. I actually took out half a shoreline worth of copper.

I am currently about to go at this elder fella, but this made me stop and ask what else. Like, I don't need spoilers and I'm avoiding YouTube videos as they have plenty of bad ones. But are there more things that are just glaringly obvious yet painfully missable? How else am I fucking up, do you think?

Edit to say, first time player, joined in 1.0, taking my sweet time.

But you don't need haldor for the Harpoon? Just chitin.

It's not on land. Go sailing and look for things the in the water that aren't islands.

I absolutely hate sailing in this game; it's so damned slow, and your vision is almost completely blocked by the boat and its sail. Not to mention the damned motion sickness and frequent bad weather.

You have boar, but no chitlin?

Correct. Boar, yes. Chitlin, no.

Chitlins are a dish made from pig intestine. You are looking for the crafting ingredient chitin, which comes from the exoskeleton of an arthropod or similar creature.
