Iron Ore is the most important raw material in the game. You smelt it into iron ingots, which become plates, rods, and screws: the building blocks of reinforced iron plates, modular frames, and almost every Tier 1-3 part.
Build Near Iron
Iron nodes are common and you will return to them constantly. Locating your first base near a large iron deposit keeps belts short and feeds the Smelter and Constructor lines that drive early milestones.
