Ratios
Copper wire is used used nearly solely for Electronic circuits and Advanced circuits. Note, that one Copper plate is needed to craft two wires. This expansion is a problem, cause belts are normally not able to handle that load. This is a typical beginner mistake, but it is not a total fail, cause there are successful designs, which handle this with belts.
There are a number of good designs to handle this without belts:
