This article is about an older version of DF.

Iron is an important resource for a fortress, as an often-plentiful1 material that can be used to make just about anything necessary, from weapons to Template:L to Template:L. Iron is also a necessary ingredient in the production of Template:L, the best non-spoiler metal in the game for Template:Ls and Template:L. If you are unable to produce enough steel in your fort, then the next best metal for military purposes is iron.

The three ores of iron, which are Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L, can only be found in Template:L layers, with the exception of Template:L, which can occasionally be found in Template:L layers.

Iron may be combined with other materials at a Template:L. Note that Template:L is used as a part of the reaction: even Template:Ls need fuel in reactions that use iron.


1. In v31.19, Toady reworked world generation for the caravan arc, and metals became extremely scarce. This was fixed in 31.21.
