Solarpunk: How to Get Infinite Iron Ores

Solarpunk is a cozy survival adventure game that takes place on the floating islands. As you begin your journey of crafting, building, surviving, and exploring, you might find yourself under stress from looking for numerous materials. One of the early crucial materials in Solarpunk is Iron Ore. Unlike other survival games, where the mineral nodes respawn after a few in-game days, they do not in Solarpunk. You can find a bunch of iron nodes on the islands, but once you mine them, they are gone. However, there is a way to mine iron ore infinitely. In this guide, we will tell you how to get infinite iron ores in Solarpunk.

How to Get Infinite Iron Ores in Solarpunk

The Iron Ores are mainly mined from the iron deposits around the floating islands. The beginning island has a decent number of iron deposits that you can mine during exploration. It is a good practice and lets you have crucial resources for crafting tools and items. However, the mineral deposits do not respawn in Solarpunk, which can be a problem, but there is always an infinite supply of every type of mineral in Solarpunk. These sources are mineral patches on the ground, and they are mainly for you to set up a mining automation later in the game.

While you do not have access to such machinery, you can simply hit the mineral patches on the ground with the Pickaxe to mine the ores. For the Iron Ores, you can find this source near the lake on the starting island. It is easy to recognize, and after finding the spot, you can hit it with a pickaxe to start getting iron ore.

Tips for Farming Iron Ores in Solarpunk

• You do not have to make an iron pickaxe to mine the iron ores from the deposits. Craft a regular Pickaxe using Stick and Stone to mine the iron ores.
• Stones and sticks respawn throughout the island often, so pick them up any you stumble upon.
• In the early game, you will need a lot of iron ores to make Iron using the Furnace to build the Airship. Craft a bunch of Pickaxes and mine the iron deposit for a decent time.
• As you explore more islands and upgrade Research Rank, you will unlock the mining automation. Set up the mining automation on the Iron deposit to mine iron infinitely.
• Craft some storage chests to store the iron ores for essential crafting items.
