[[File:Iron Ore Mine Default Model.PNG]]
The Iron Ore Mine is the source of Iron Ore [[File:icon iron ore.png|16px]], it is used only by the [[Foundry]] where it is combined with Coal [[File:icon coal.png|16px]] in order to create Iron [[File:icon iron.png|16px]]. Iron Ore Mines are Mine is an [[Ages#EraII|Era II]] building, therefore when transitioning from the [[Ages#EraI|Early Steam Era]] to the [[Ages#EraII|Steam Era]] several Iron Ore Mines will appear in random locations across the map.
==Processes==
The base version of the Iron Ore Mine generates 1 Iron Ore [[File:icon iron ore.png|16px]] per [[Game tick]]. The mine can be extended with 4 extensions that can be placed on tiles adjacent to the mine. Three of the extensions provide an increase to the Iron Ore [[File:icon iron ore.png|16px]] output of the Mine, of these extensions the "Second Headframe" extension provides the largest increase to production output of the Iron Ore Mine. The "Timber Tunnel Supports" extension adds a new process that consumes Timber [[File:Icon timber.png|16px]] while providing a large increase to Iron Ore [[File:icon iron ore.png|16px]] production. When all four upgrades are built onto the Iron Ore Mine, it consumes 0.4 Timber [[File:Icon timber.png|16px]] and produces 4 Iron Ore [[File:icon iron ore.png|16px]] Per Tick.
There is a secret puzzle in Iron Ore Mine building: Try to build the extensions in a way that the small tracks for mining cars match. It will not add another bonus to the production, but it will become visually much more appealing.
