Wire is a crafting resource in Permafrost that you pick up from the world and feed into other recipes. It goes into making Components, and you can also make it yourself at the Workbench from 1 Copper Ingot, so a spare ingot turns into Wire whenever you need it.

The map has 17 spots where Wire lies ready to collect, and they gather most thickly at Promenade (House Camp), which holds 6 of them. Landscar Cave has 2 more, so the two places make a sensible pairing for a gathering run. Single spots turn up at the Solar Power Plant, Nomad Camp, The Crater's Military Convoy and the Greenhouse. Beyond what lies on the ground, Wire can sit inside frozen bodies, lockers and toolboxes, so check those as you pass. Eric Hirsch stocks it, which gives you a fallback when your own searches come up short.
