Iron Bars convert later-tier ruin ore into a workshop-ready material for progression builds.

Once the story opens Abandoned Ruins #2, gather Iron Ore from its iron-bearing patches and process it in the Workshop. The goal is not simply to fill a machine: match output to a known build or commission, since the ore, fuel, and queue all compete with other production. Use the machine interface for its specific recipe and requirements.
Repeat on later passes when stock is depleted; each batch uses ore, fuel, machine capacity, and time.
Stop once the planned bar requirement is met and the next machine queue is more valuable for another material.
