Iron ore locations in Once Human

To get Iron Ore, you’ll need to mine Iron Ore nodes in the Iron River, Chalk Peak, and Red Sands regions. It’s similar in shape and size to normal stone nodes, except that it has a distinctive rusty hue made up of dark brown and orange streaks. You can find Iron Ore nodes in the following location:

• All over the Iron River region, which is a level 22 area so make sure you’ve leveled up before venturing in. The nodes tend to spawn out in the wilderness away from settlements and other points of interest, such as the land between the Dayton Wetlands border and Winding Ridge Farmland.
• In the Red Sands and Chalk Peak regions, often near Aluminum and Tungsten Ore nodes out in the wilderness.

You’ll need a bronze pickaxe to mine Iron Ore, which you can craft using Tin and Copper Ore once you’ve unlocked the Bronze Tools. You can also use a Digby Boy Deviant to mine ores around your base, though it will need to be located in one of the higher level regions for the Deviant to find Iron Ore. To get a Digby Boy, simply mine Silver Ore nodes. For each one, there’s a small chance that it will drop the Deviant. You’ll find clusters of Silver Ore in abundance around the starting Dayton Wetlands region. Reliable location include the road between Aiden’s Hideout and Throughville as well as the river bed area.
