Before you go
- Unlock the Smelter and Iron Ingot recipe.
- Iron Ore, power, and a way to move ore and ingots.
Farming steps
- Find an Iron Ore node using the in-game map or by exploring.
- Choose a node you can reach and place a Miner on it.
- Connect power and an output belt or other transport to carry ore away.
- Build and power a Smelter, then select Iron Ingot.
- Feed Iron Ore into the Smelter and route the ingots to storage or the next production line.
- Check the machine input and output after production starts; adjust transport if either side stalls.
- The default recipe consumes 30 Iron Ore and produces 30 Iron Ingots per minute at 100% clock speed.
- Use ingots for parts such as Iron Plates and Iron Rods, or for another unlocked recipe that accepts them.
- If you unlock an alternate recipe, check its ingredients and machine before changing your line.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the Smelter supplied and make room for ingots at its output. Add more smelting capacity when downstream demand exceeds the current line's supply.
Common mistakes
- Searching for an Iron Ingot node; ingots are made from Iron Ore.
- Letting the output fill or the ore input run dry, which stops production.
- Selecting an alternate recipe without supplying its required ingredients.
When to stop or switch
Stop expanding the line when ingot storage meets your target and the machines using the ingots stay supplied.
