Ironium

Ironium supports colony construction and progression. A deposit mine supplies it locally, while a remote source can feed the main base through rift transport.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

An explored mission area or survival map with a visible Ironium deposit.

Find an Ironium deposit, establish a working mine, and confirm the resource reaches storage before counting it toward a build plan. The same loop works in campaign and survival wherever the map provides a mineable Ironium node.

How to farm

Before you go

Ironium mine available in the current mode.
Local power and storage or resource logistics.
For a remote campaign source, rift travel and a viable outpost.

Explore the current map and identify an Ironium deposit.
Inspect the deposit and select a valid mine position over it.
Place the Ironium mine and connect it to power.
Connect the mine to local storage or the outpost resource network.
Check the mine status and confirm Ironium is accumulating.
If the source is remote, finish the outpost’s power and defenses, then enable the transport link.
Review the main base stockpile before committing the material to construction.

Farming tips

Choose an outpost location for the needed deposit, not just the first open landing area.
Keep local defenses close to the mine and storage so a raid does not interrupt the source.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat at another Ironium deposit when the first patch is depleted or its supply cannot meet demand. Deposits are finite.

Common mistakes

Treating the mine as active without power: verify its operating state after connection.
Relying on remote production before establishing transport: confirm the resource arrives at the main base.
Ignoring local threats: secure the machinery before expanding the outpost.
