	The '''iron plate''' is a material that can be made by smelting [[iron ore]] in a [[furnace]], or cast by a [[foundry]]{{SA}}. It is a component or subcomponent of almost every item in Factorio, ~~and~~ it ~~is recommended~~ to ~~create~~ a ~~large stockpile when possible~~. When smelted in a furnace for a second time, iron plates will transform into [[steel plate]]s, with a ratio of 5 iron plates per 1 steel plate.		The '''iron plate''' is a material that can be made by smelting [[iron ore]] in a [[furnace]], or cast by a [[foundry]]{{SA}}. It is a component or subcomponent of almost every item in Factorio, which is why it makes sense to ensure a continuous, uninterrupted supply in sufficient quantities. When smelted in a furnace for a second time, iron plates will transform into [[steel plate]]s, with a ratio of 5 iron plates per 1 steel plate.

	When starting a new freeplay game, the player starts out with 8 iron plates, along with 1 [[burner mining drill]] and 1 [[stone furnace]].		When starting a new freeplay game, the player starts out with 8 iron plates, along with 1 [[burner mining drill]] and 1 [[stone furnace]].
