Notes
Iron Ore is a raw mineral block mined from the ground, found in Grassland (55-60m) and Desert (0-60m) biomes. It must be crushed into processed forms like Crushed Iron Ore before smelting, and is also used to craft basic Metallurgy Research Papers. A tier 2 pickaxe is required to mine this block, so upgrading your mining tool is the first step to accessing iron.

Heavy and rough from the earth's deep bones, these stones carry traces of iron—the quiet promise of tools and steel.
🌱 Local AI
The descriptive prose on this wiki is written by a large language model — but it runs entirely on local, self-hosted hardware: a Gemma 4 E4B model on a single NVIDIA RTX 4070 in a home Unraid server.
Nothing you read here was generated by a commercial cloud API. The game data itself is pulled live from the Eco server; the AI only fills in flavor and gap text. Like any web server, this one keeps its own request log — including visitors' IP addresses — purely to run and improve the site; it is never sold or handed to a third party.
This wiki is one face of a larger Eco mod: Solomon, an in-world AI steward that runs the server's economy, posts help contracts, keeps a store, and answers players. The wiki reads the same live game registries and tools Solomon does — so the numbers stay true to the running world. Read more about the project →
