Iron in Scorched Earth?

[Hobo]

How do you get iron, I don't get any off the stones.

The metal nodes look the same as on the original ark, you will find small amounts along the central canal of the map, along with tons of silica pearls. beyond that i havent really played enough of the map to guide you to larger deposits

just head into the mountains there are heaps there but just watch for the rock elementals

[Lucky shot]

theres some nodes near green tower

Stones are not a good source of iron in any map, you shouldn't be mining them for that reason, there are specific iron nodes that you can get good metal from, I know the mountains near red obelisk have tons.

There are several smaller deposits of semi metal rocks in the water pools along the centeral "river" section, not a super huge haul but enough to get you the basics, I set up a Paracer mobile forge and have been traveling the area gathering and so far so good.

The Paracer and a Anklo can protect em from all threats I have found so far besides one random rock Gnolem that was easy to draw away from where I wanted to travel so its not really a issue anymore.
