## Obtaining

[Ore (Iron)](/wiki/ore-iron) is a common [ore](/wiki/ores) that can be mined throughout the surface and underground of a planet or an asteroid using a [Mining Drill](/wiki/mining-drill) or [Pickaxe](/wiki/pickaxe). It can also be obtained by processing [dirty ore](/wiki/dirty-ore) from a [Deep Miner](/wiki/deep-miner) using a [Centrifuge](/wiki/centrifuge) or [Combustion Centrifuge](/wiki/combustion-centrifuge). Iron Ore is the most basic, and most used, ore type in Stationeers.

## Processing

Iron ore can be turned into an [iron ingot](/wiki/iron-ingot) by smelting it in an [Arc Furnace](/wiki/arc-furnace), [Furnace](/wiki/furnace), or [Advanced Furnace](/wiki/advanced-furnace). Iron is also an ingredient of [Steel](/wiki/steel), [Solder](/wiki/solder), and [Invar](/wiki/invar).

Smelting in an Arc Furnace requires 200 Energy. Using a Furnace or Advanced Furnace requires the following conditions:
|  | **Pressure (Pa)** | **Temperature (K)** | **Temperature (°C)** |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Min** | 100 kPa | 800 K | 527 °C |
| **Max** | 100 MPa | 100 kK | 99.7 k°C |


Smelting one iron ore produces the following gases:
| **Amount** | **Gas** |
|---|---|
| 2 mol | [Pollutant](/wiki/pollutant) |
| 0.5 mol | [Carbon Dioxide](/wiki/carbon-dioxide) |
