What is Iron?
Iron is produced by Ore Mines and is needed for Secret of Praetoria research and SPS mining. Iron is produced at a rate of .0005 per production point per hour, and Ore Miners consume .01 Grain per base production point per hour.
- Iron was introduced as part of the Land 1.75 update.
How can I get Iron?
1. Build an Ore Mine. Review Building a Worksite: Resource Production or How to Change a Worksite for step-by-step guidance.
- If a grain farm was built on a terrain type that supports iron, it will automatically switch to iron after the first harvest post Land 1.75 release.
2. Swap for Iron in the Trade Hub.
What terrain types support Iron?
Mountains, Badlands, and Caldera support Iron production
- Review Terrain Preferences to learn which Elements get boosts on land.
Use the Geography or Resource filters to locate plots that can produce Iron.
You can also view this within the plot view.
Note the map view on hover. This shows the resource that the land is capable of producing, not the current worksite.
Can I transfer Iron?
Yes. Review Transfer Resources from One Region to Another Region.
What are the future uses of Iron?
Ore Mines allow you to extract iron from deep within the earth. Used as a raw material to produce SPS & Research Points, iron will have additional uses as Praetoria becomes further developed.
