Where can you farm Iron Ore in Once Human? Best Locations Listed

Once Human has several useful resources, including Iron Ore. It won’t be available from the beginning itself but in due time, the mineral will be accessible. Thanks to the nature of the game, you will have to really look all over the land to find it. Now, we don’t have all the time in the world, do we? 

Iron Ore is a pretty common mineral. You can find plenty in the Iron River zone in Broken Delta. Don’t worry about how to reach this spot, just defeat the Treant inside the Gaia Monolith and you will be sent there.

Farming Iron Ore in Once Human

You can only spot Iron Ore after arriving at the Iron River. The protruding minable ores are pretty easy to spot with their bright orange streaks. They can be located either on grass or on rocky terrain.
