Background

Iron mining is the process of extracting iron ore from the ground. Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. Iron ore can be fed directly into iron-making blast furnaces in a iron ore processing plant.

Gameplay

Iron mine is the building used to produce iron ore. As with other mines, the iron mine must be placed over a iron deposit to produceiron ore. Iron mines must be staffed by workers and powered by electricity to function. Iron ore can be transported from the mine by dumper trucks, conveyors or aggregate storage cableways. Iron mine is used for getting iron ore which can be further processed in iron ore processing plant into iron.

Production

Iron resource flow chart

Iron ore is mined underground by workers. It can have a maximum daily production of 1000t per iron mine[1].

Storage

Iron ore may be stored in both small and large aggregate storage buildings.

Transportation

Iron ore can be transported by using dumper trucks or by trains using hopper cargo wagons.

Placement

While in construction placing mode with a iron mine, dots in a circle will appear around the building. These dots represent iron deposit under the buildig. Read dots represent that there are no deposits bellow the building, yellow dots represent some deposits while green represent big resources bellow. The more green dots, the more efficiency the building will have. Mines placed in areas with no resources and with no efficiency, will not produce any iron.

Note: The images below are for exemplary purposes and are derived from the example of placing a coal mine, because it works exactly in the same way for placing a iron mine.

  1. The maximum production per worker is 4.0t per worker. The iron mine can have a maximum of 250 workers per day. This leaves the equasion in: 4.0t max per worker x 250 max workers = 1000t per day
