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.

Alternate gathering

In the Space Age expension you can also gain iron ore on space platforms by gathering metallic asteroid chunks with asteroid collectors and processing them 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. On Fulgora, it can be obtained by recycling concrete, itself obtained from recycling scrap.
