Iron bars can be smelted at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor activated. Iron occurs naturally, and can be achieved from any of three separate ores: Hematite, magnetite and limonite.
Iron is predominantly used to forge weapons and armor, which deal (or absorb) more damage than bronze or copper items. Iron is the most commonly used of the three metals used to forge anvils (steel and adamantine are harder to obtain but the anvil does not become more useful). Iron can also be fashioned into objects such as coins, furniture, and crafts, though this is normally regarded as a waste of perfectly good metal though having a high value.
Iron bars can be used to make pig iron, which in turn is used to make steel bars.
Iron is used in the following Recipes at a Smelter:
