In Once Human, gathering materials and resources is key to surviving the threats of the supernatural world, as well as maintaining and improving a sturdy base and territory.
Among the various materials that are available to be scavenged during your adventure, Iron Ore is one of several items that you'll need to obtain fairly consistently to keep crafting new items and facilities, enabling you to further improve your base, complete quests, and raise your player level. Knowing where and how to source Iron Ore will come in handy regardless if you're playing solo or squadding up with some friends to form a Hive. For Once Human players struggling to locate this ore, this guide provides some useful tips.

How to Get Iron Ore in Once Human
Just like many other MMO titles, gathering materials and crafting is a core mechanic to Once Human. While gathering basic materials such as Logs or Copper Ore is rather easy to do in Once Human, Iron Ore tends to be much more difficult to farm in comparison. This is not only because it is less commonly found in the wilderness in comparison to these starting materials, but you will also need to have access to the proper tools required for harvesting it - which in this case, involves the
Bronze Pickaxe.
To obtain the Bronze Pickaxe, you will first need to unlock it from the Memetics menu under
Bronze Casting. You will then need to craft the Bronze Pickaxe on a workbench, which will require you to expend a few extra materials.

Where to Farm Iron Ore in Once Human
Now that you've successfully unlocked and obtained the Bronze Pickaxe, you will need to locate and travel to an area suitable for farming or (at the very least) gathering a substantial amount of the material.
To have the most success in farming Iron Ore, you will need to be at the mid-level stage of gameplay, as the best area to harvest large quantities of this material has a level recommendation of 28.
The best place to gather Iron Ore in Once Human is the region known as Iron River. As the name suggests, there is a very solid amount of Iron nodes that can be mined throughout this terrain, enabling you to create a solid stash of Iron Ore for all of your crafting and base work needs.
If you have yet to discover this region during your own adventure, then feel free to refer to mapgenie.io's live Once Human map for an indication of where you will need to travel to. In addition to this, if you need some extra assistance in fending off potential threats in this higher-ranked area, you can always form a Hive or Warband with some friends or other players on the server by having them simply swap over to your world, join forces, and work alongside one another to easily find the best mining spots around Iron River.
