Iron Ingots are one of the most useful resources in the game.
Appearance
Ingots are oblongs with rounded ends and shading to suggest additional rounding. To look like iron, it's colored gray with a light top and dark bottom. It can be told apart from steel by its thinner shape and slightly darker overall color.
Where Found
Iron ingots are sometimes found inside golden chests spawned with a world. They can also obtained as bonuses for meditating or by the use of a gold pickaxe.
The smelting of an iron ingot can be done at any furnace above level 1 (electric furnaces are fine as well):
|
|
They can also be crafted from pig iron with an electric furnace:
|
|
Uses
Iron ingots can be used to craft iron tools, reinforced platforms, black windows, steel, magnets, iron blocks, iron pots, safes, iron doors and trapdoors, display cabinets, iron armor, and electric furnaces. They can be used to upgrade armor benches to level 2 and tool benches to level 4. Since they are used to make steel, they are valuable even late in the game, because steel is used to make all electric machines.
Crafting
At a woodwork bench, an iron ingot can be combined with wood to make five reinforced platforms:
|
|
When combined with two coal at a furnace level 3 or higher (or one coal at an electric furnace), an iron ingot can be turned into a steel ingot:
|
|
|
|
Along with black sand, a magnet can be crafted at a metalwork bench (or an electric one):
|
|
Iron ingots and black glass together can be processed in a kiln or electric kiln to make black windows:
|
|
With black glass, display cabinets can be crafted at a metalwork bench:
|
|
Five iron ingots can be used to craft iron blocks at a metalwork bench:
|
|
Three can be used for crafting an iron pot using either an electric metalwork bench or a level 2 metalwork bench:
|
|
Five iron ingots can be used to craft safes at a metalwork bench:
|
|
An iron ingot is needed to craft an electric furnace:
|
|
Bench Upgrades
Iron ingots can be used on a level 3 tool bench to upgrade it to level 4. The upgraded tool bench can then make iron tools, including axes, machetes, pickaxes, and swords. Each tool also requires a stick.
|
|
Similarly, a level 1 armor bench requires an iron ingot to be upgraded to level 2, which unlocks iron armor.

Notes
Prior to version 1.4, it required five coal instead of two to create an iron ingot in a furnace.
