WHY CONSIDER IT
It is a good shared-demand checkpoint when several circuit or machine projects draw on copper.
When it fits: Batch it against the downstream electrical builds rather than producing an arbitrary surplus.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 2 and lists 1 Copper Ingot at Constructor; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. Copper smelting and wire conversion can be separate capacity stages; a material total does not prove either stage can keep pace.
