I think that copper should be added from 404. Copper is a soft metal and thus tools made from it would not require an anvil. Copper's antimicrobial properties may mean that copper armor (however stupid this may sound) would allow people to be more resistant to loss of the health stat. It would allow people to survive storms better (because it would reduce the chance of you getting a nasty disease from rain). However, copper armor would give people only 140 health in total (enough to be killed by a mithril sword or crossbow to the head) and copper tools are between stone and iron strength. Copper amor does not protect against drowning, but it does protect against mushrooms (poison is not reduced, because you actually get the stuff into your system).
