Iron Wheel
A sturdy iron wheel that can support heavier vehicles than early wooden wheels.
Notes
The Iron Wheel is a heavy-duty component crafted from iron, designed to support larger and more powerful vehicles than its wooden predecessor. It is a key ingredient in the construction of advanced machines like the Steam Tractor, Steam Truck, and various lathes, forming the backbone of a settlement's mid-game transportation and industry. Ensure a steady supply of these wheels is available if you plan to mechanize your town's logistics.
