Deicide Posted March 11, 2025 Report Posted March 11, 2025 I've been thinking why there's not much when it comes to iron, in reality the iron age is essentially the start of steam power and because of steam there's many things we could do like maybe have electricity and therefore use lights and stoves and such. If there are any opinions on this feel to comment or ask questions.
Maelstrom Posted March 13, 2025 Report Posted March 13, 2025 Steam power is on the devs roadmap but not implemented yet. Currently iron age provides better tools, they last MUCH longer than bronze ones. Beehive kilns, steel furnaces and coke ovens require iron doors. Steel furnace opens up steel with even greater durability than iron tools. If you decide to explore the story locations, iron armor and weapons are highly recommended. Higher tier armor/weapons are also highly recommended for exploring the depths of caves or fighting critters in a temporal storm.
Cetasaya Posted March 13, 2025 Report Posted March 13, 2025 You also got the Jonas Devices either during iron age or steel. Theyre useful but ive never bothered crafting any of them.
Maelstrom Posted March 13, 2025 Report Posted March 13, 2025 I haven't crafted any of those either, but yeah. Nickel requires steel pick axe I think?

Maelstrom Posted March 13, 2025 Report Posted March 13, 2025 True that. I don't like the impact to mining yield that bombs have for ore. Crystal mining (that olivine and quartz stuff).... BOMBS AWAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!
