The Perfect Copper Armor and Tools

A problem that I and a lot of players have with the new copper set of tools and armor is that it doesn't add too much to the game, so I think I have the perfect solution: Make cooper tools and armor have different oxidation levels based on durability. The tools should be closer to iron in damage and mining speed, but they would lose that damage and speed as their durability decreases. Also they could maybe be waxed so the oxidation doesn't change no matter it's durability, making it possible to have a copper tool with no oxidation and bad stats or one fully oxidized with good stats. The armor could work the same way with the oxidation and waxing but without a change of stats. Maybe it could give you more resistance to lightning the more oxidized it is, since it loses it's conductivity. All this would give copper armor and tools something special and would make them even more useful, and not only that, but it would also add a lot of new armor colors that players will love.
