Iron is a Tier 2 ore that can be found in The Pit, located in the middle of the The Plains. The node is a grey rock with spots of orange metal ore scattered near the top. Harvesting the node drops 2-3 of copper ore.
After upgrading to Tier 2, you can mine these ores and use a Tier 2 Furnace, a Tier 2 Extruder, and a Tier 2 press to create Iron Wire and other things.
You can also purchase mines for the Iron. (See Farms and Mines)
Normally players can get past Tier 2 without using Iron whatsoever, using Iron to progress is a recommendation at first before moving on to Gold.
