Where to find Iron?

[Ramsdej]

I cannot seem to find any iron, at all! I have an iron mine, and my nuggets are 'searching for iron scraps' but none of my buildings that require iron to build or upgrade and getting done, I cant seem to find any iron deposits anywhere myself, I dont know what they looks like. Im a bit stuck on what to do? Can anyone please advise?

When you go to place the iron mine look for the lightest blue areas that appear and look at the number next to the building (higher equals better). Usually needs to be next to a mountain area.

When you open the build screen and choose the iron building read the info at the bottom of screen. It will have a color chart with high and low Iron deposits. Then look for that high color on the map.

They kind of screwed the players over by putting the richest iron deposits dead center top of Mountains which you can't build anything at the top of Mountains.

True, but the iron mine has a reasonably wide radius. It’s not ideal though. They probably need to either increase this or allow us to build higher up.

Thanks for the replies guys, Ill boot up the game now and try again.

Any updates yet ? How come an engineering hut needs so much iron when it's really a scarce. Cant use any spell or trade to get it ?

It shouldn't be scarce at all, it's just your city might not be near the planets deposit so you have to look further out. You can check one of the bottom right buttons to see how much iron your planet has in total.

When you click Iron Mine in the build menu it highlights all iron deposits, just look around.

I think the lowest I've had is like 30k.

Someone mentioned the bottom right corner icon. The resource panel has a very useful bit of info at the bottom of it. It's got all the resources left on the planet. I wasted a lot of time scanning over planets looking for resources when there weren't any left to find.
And the Celestial Alchemixer is invaluable. There's a hidden layer of resources on some planets (you can see them on the resource panel.)

And I don't think either of them are really explained in the game. The narrator mostly sticks to the yuck yuck jokes.
