Lore

Miners say you can smell the iron in the void — the faint tang of magnetised dust that clings to every ore freighter. It is the smell of civilisation being built, one tonne at a time.

Where to Farm

  • 1Prioritise upgrading your extraction building over storage — production compounds at each level.
  • 2Run your extractors at full capacity by ensuring Energy surplus stays above 15%.
  • 3Trade surpluses on the open market rather than letting storage overflow cap your gains.
