Description

Iron is a common crafting component which can be mined from Iron Ore, scavenged or salvaged from various locations in 7 Days to Die or crafted using iron based items. Iron can also be obtained from destroying existing metal-like objects. Examples include decaying vehicle frames, air/heating vents, shed metal sheeting, metal barricaded windows, iron store shelves, metal ladders, and much more. Iron can be melted in a Forge to cast Forged Iron, or used to craft various other items. A single piece of Iron weighs 0.5 lb. Iron is also one of the most influential basic resources to a players playthrough.

Crafting

Iron can be extracted from a Forge prior to moving the forge at no loss of materials.

Trivia

You can use Iron to craft Scrap Iron Hatch which can be smelted in a forge for the 40 pts of Iron which are used to craft it. Scrap Iron Hatch will stack up to 500 therefore, you can hold 20.000 pts of Iron in a single stack for smelting purpose.
