Where to Find Iron Ore?
Iron Ore can be found in and around caves in different game locations. There are two types of caves; one has sealed entrances, and when you walk up to them, you can see the mining pickaxe icon to make your way inside, while the others have open entrances, and you can see the ores sitting outside.
How to Mine Iron Ore in Icarus?
Once you get inside the cave, the first thing you are going to deal with is the worms.
Once you have mined the ores, head back to your building and start smelting them. Now, you need to be at level 10 to pick up the Crafting Bench and Stone Furnace. Simply setup your smelting stations and drop your iron ore in it.
