Iron Concentrate
Iron ore that has been concentrated to remove impurities. Ore concentrate is used by smiths to smelt metal bars.
Notes
Iron Concentrate is processed iron ore with impurities removed, used primarily for smelting metal bars like Iron, Steel, and Charcoal Steel. It is produced by higher-tier concentration recipes and serves as an intermediate step between raw ore and usable metal. A practical tip: since concentrate is a product and can be carried on the back, players can efficiently transport large quantities between a mining operation and a smelter, helping keep the metal supply chain flowing.
