Mining Ores at Higher Levels

So I unlocked Growling Grotto today, and quickly started getting mithril ore. Great! But… I'm also still getting copper. I kinda feel like, at this point, copper is really unnecessary and just clogs up your cart. Actually, if you don't upgrade your cart, this means that you can lock yourself out of mining unless you drop some if you're unlucky since you're getting 4 ores (5 if you count moonstone, but that only takes one to smelt) that need 5 to melt, which just really rubs me the wrong way when the expansions cost moonstones. If I want copper, I'll go to Lucid Lagoon, it's faster and drops more of it. I'm not going to go all the way down to Growling Grotto, and presumably Fluorescent Fountain and The Deep Deep in the hopes of pulling out some copper or iron.

Edit: You can very rarely get Lorium here too. This single green boy is messing me up but it pains me to toss out rares.

So basically, I think at some point copper (and probably iron) should stop dropping from mining because it's just… excessive and really makes you feel the burden of cart space, especially if you haven't paid in premium currency for more. I joke a lot about this being wolf-based Minecraft, but it isn't. You stop needing these low level materials eventually and if you do need them because you want some iron armor or swords, you can just… go get them really easily. And even if it was Minecraft, you can only get certain ores at certain depths!

I was excited to unlock a new location, but now I'm just like, ugh, the deeper I go the less bars I can smelt at a time because of all this clutter.

As someone trying to get Silver from the Spires (and just had a run that gave me 0 silver -_-), SUPPORT. I am tired of copper, I have tons of it, and I can go to the first place to stock up. And I'm now not able to complete the 0/15 mine ore in one go at times, since even with 20 slots it's harder to get multiples of five due to this.

Considering you can get whole bars in campaign after your level your mining, it makes no sense. Why is campaign a better way to get higher level bars than mining?

So much support! I've got all 30 slots available and am only at the Spires, and I already find it incredibly tedious to manually chuck out unwanted ore, one by one. :') Either don't have lower level ores mixed in with higher level ores, or allow us to choose the specific ore(s) we're after, so our wolves only dig out what we've selected.

Small update: Apparently you can also get Lorium from this location! That makes inventory space even tighter!

Please… its nonsensical to go deeper just to get the same ores you've already been getting. Especially because chucking ores is tedious as heck, and I hate wasting items like that.

Wondering why this is a problem? I just spent an hour going back and forth not realizing this happened.

Support. I just tired to mine silver and I was getting mostly copper and iron. I would toss them out and get more of the same stuff I just tossed. Took me 3 rounds of tossing to get the one silver I needed to get 1 bar of silver.
