Iron Plate

A solid iron plate for use in various crafting recipes.

Notes

An iron plate is a crafted intermediate component used in many advanced industrial recipes, including the Blast Furnace, Boiler, Combustion Engine, and Electric Stamping Press. Each plate weighs 500 g, stacks up to 100, and can be minted into up to 10,000 coins per item at a Mint, giving it both crafting and monetary value. Because it appears in so many high-tier recipes, stocking iron plates in a store makes them a reliable trade good that other players will need for mid-to-late-game machinery and construction.
