== Alternative gathering ==
In the [[Space Age]] expansion, each surface has its own way of obtaining iron ore.
* On [[Nauvis]], it appears in patches that can be mined with drills, as in the base game.
* On [[space platform]]s, [[metallic asteroid chunk]]s gathered with [[asteroid collector]]s can be processed into iron ore in [[crusher]]s.
* On [[Gleba]], iron ore can be obtained by allowing [[iron bacteria]] to [[Spoilage mechanics|spoil]], which can be obtained sustainably in [[biochamber]]s first from [[jelly]] and then by [[Iron bacteria cultivation|cultivating them]] with [[bioflux]].
* On [[Vulcanus]], iron ore can be found in rocks on the planet's surface. Most iron products, including concrete, are produced in [[foundry|foundries]] from [[molten iron]] extracted from inexhaustible [[lava]] with [[calcite]].
* On [[Fulgora]], it can be obtained by recycling [[concrete]], itself obtained from recycling [[scrap]]. It has little use as iron plate, steel plates and concrete can also all be recycled from scrap.
* Iron ore is not available on [[Aquilo]]; iron and iron products must be imported.
