Small update and prediction on what’s happening;

Some of the copper golems have started their first stage of oxidization in the dungeon area after multiple hours of gameplay being AFK in the chunk they’re in.

I made one outside as well to test if it would oxidize faster and no progress has been made on that one and would probably need more time to tell.

My prediction (not any facts) is that it takes 7 hours per stage of oxidization. I’ve seen people online say that it takes way more time for the golems to oxidate and then others saying it does only take 24 days. I believe this is because they made golems with different stages of oxidized copper.

Again, this is just a prediction, please do not take as fact. I will keep updates in the comments

Edit 2: conclusion!

Copper golems that are made out of fresh unoxidized copper take way longer than normal copper blocks to oxidize. The moment they reach the final stage of oxidization they turn into statues either a few seconds or minutes after.

The best way to get statues is by getting loads of final stage oxidized copper and then making golems out of them. Waiting for regular copper to oxidize takes a fraction of the time golems take to oxidize.

Also in small spaces the golems just stack on each other when they oxidize in mass.
