Iron Ore

Iron Ore is a natural resource obtained through mining. It is combined with Coal in a Blast Furnace to process into Molten Iron. In later stages of the game, Iron Ore can be processed into Iron Ore Crushed in the Crusher before smelting to increase material efficiency. Smelting of Iron Ore, along with Copper Ore, are the primary sources of Slag.
