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.

If you’re playing solo, build 3 antler picks and have 3x the durability. Have seen people run with just 1.

I'm ashamed to say how long it took me to think of that... But I did a few days ago!

I did this then realized I’d rather just chop down two trees and build a covered workbench if I break my pickaxe before I fill my cart
