No more iron ore

[MightyMarkUK]

Ok, I may have done something wrong in the early part of the game but I cannot find any more iron ore. I'm at the point where I need to make a steel pick axe to continue. The pick axe requires iron ore. I already put all the ore possible in the furnace and made iron ingots. These cannot be returned to their ore state.

I've been everywhere possible to locate any more iron ore but there is none. I now cannot continue in the game because I am unable to make the steel pick axe.

Anyone else have this problem or know what to do?

If break open crates and boxes in abandoned Smithies in the Westgate sometimes they drop ore.

That said if you've strip mined the early game completely and depleted the starter area of all resources possible literally everywhere (which would be impressive) you can start a new world, grab some iron and then take the iron back to your main world as you can bring inventory over between worlds

I almost had this problem, and thought it incredibly stupid that the steel ingot recipe requires iron ore rather than iron ingots for exactly this reason.

I found some last iron ore around the Elven location, along the outer walls, rather high.

Thanks guys. I'm glad I managed to find 9 ore in the chests with the keys required. Now I built the steel pick axe and progressed to the mine. I must admit I'm loving the game. The devs need a very well done.

You'll be swimming in iron once you enter the actual mines - they really only give you enough before then to get started.

I found i got low on iron around making the steel pickaxe bit, but liek you got there in the end.

Where you need a Steel Pickaxe to continue, that's the Elven Quarter, that place is filled with Iron Ore, look for the edges of the room
