'''Iron Ore''' is the basis for building materials used in almost everything. It is the lynch-pin metal for Space Engineers. Throughout all stages of game play the Space Engineer can never have enough Iron. Thankfully, it is the most common metal in Space Engineers, even more common than [http://spaceengineers.wikia.com/wiki/Silicon_Ore Silicon Ore], which is odd. It is a naturally occurring [[Ores|ore]] found in veins on asteroids and planets. It has a reddish, metallic appearance, and is a very common ore found in asteroids. It can be processed in a [[Refinery]] to produce [[Iron Ingot]]s at a 70% ratio. Iron is also one of the easiest ores to smelt in Space Engineers, in reality Iron is one of the hardest metals to smelt requiring a very high temperature to make quality steel. This issue was addressed in Keen Software House to sacrifice realism for entertainment/speed. Many immersions were sacrificed for the greater good, after a brief test patch making Iron smelting more realistic and less fun. Which is to say 10 kg of ore will produce 7 kg of ingots. Iron Ore can also be processed quickly in [http://spaceengineers.wikia.com/wiki/Arc_Furnace Arc Furnaces]. Iron Ingots are the base ingredients for all core building blocks and components in Space Engineers. Nothing happens without Iron Ore.

Iron Ore is the basis for building materials used in almost everything. It is the lynch-pin metal for Space Engineers. Throughout all stages of game play the Space Engineer can never have enough Iron. Thankfully, it is the most common metal in Space Engineers, even more common than Silicon Ore, which is odd. It is a naturally occurring ore found in veins on asteroids and planets. It has a reddish, speckled appearance, and is a very common ore found in asteroids. It comes in various shades of Red and saturated dark red. Sometimes even being confused with Nickel Ore. It can be processed in a Refinery to produce Iron Ingots at a 70% ratio. Iron is also one of the easiest ores to smelt in Space Engineers, in reality Iron is one of the hardest metals to smelt requiring a very high temperature to make quality steel. This issue was addressed in Keen Software House to sacrifice realism for entertainment/speed. Many immersions were sacrificed for the greater good, after a brief test patch making Iron smelting more realistic and less fun. Which is to say 10 kg of ore will produce 7 kg of ingots. Iron Ore can also be processed quickly in Arc Furnaces. Iron Ingots are the base ingredients for all core building blocks and components in Space Engineers. Nothing happens without Iron Ore.
