Iron ore is a resource found on the map. It can be smelted into iron plates in a furnace, and is also a component in concrete.
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 platforms, metallic asteroid chunks gathered with asteroid collectors can be processed into iron ore in crushers.
 - On Gleba, iron ore can be obtained by allowing iron bacteria to spoil, which can be obtained sustainably in biochambers first from jelly and then by 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 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.
