Iron Alloy

This article is considered accurate for the current version (1.60) of Foxhole.

“	Iron Alloy can be used to produce Vehicle Prototype at the Engineering Center.	„
	— In-game description

Iron Alloy is a type of technology material (also known as a tmat) used in the Engineering Center to progress the first eight research levels of the Vehicle tech tree.

Use

Iron Alloy is only used in the Engineering Center to progress the current research level in the Vehicle Tech Tree. The amount of Iron Alloy required to advance the tech depends on the research level (also known as a tech tier), with higher levels requiring more Alloys.

Doing so will create a Vehicle Prototype Kit (these can only be used in a Garage to create a "prototype" version of that vehicle). NOTE: Iron Alloy is only used for the first eight levels of the Vehicle Tech Tree. Afterwards, Iron Alloy is useless and Copper Alloy is used for remainder of the tech tree.

Storage

It stacks up to 100 per slot in inventories. It can be stored in the stockpiles of Bases (32k max).
It can be crated (need stack of 20 per crate) and uncrated with the right click context menu while interfacing a Seaport, Storage Depot, or Shipping Container.
Crates of Iron Alloy can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 300 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 300 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots, but is most commonly transported by Trucks. For long distances, it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers and submit them to a crate stockpile.

Tips

• Since technology materials are important to advance your faction's research, it is highly recommended not to store them in Reserve Stockpiles or Refinery personal queues.
  • As such, they should be spent or stored in visible stockpiles on the map, preferably in Refineries.
• Due to Iron only being used in the first half of the Vehicle tech tree, it is highly recommended that all Iron should be used up before it becomes useless (i.e. not being used to unlock any new vehicles).

Trivia

• Prior to Update 0.47, Iron was used for the entirety of the Vehicle Tech Tree. With the introduction to Copper, it was changed so the later half of the Tech Tree only used Copper Alloy, rendering Iron Alloy obsolete.
