Creation

IRON can be created by molten ROCK, with 1/15625 frequency, while under 50-75 pressure and at least 4726.85C.

Reactions

IRON will turn into BMTL when in contact with SALT, SLTW, WATR, OXYG, or LOXY. The BMTL will then turn into BRMT after prolonged exposure to any of these elements. This represents rusting. Placing GOLD nearby will reverse and prevent this process.

Molten IRON will turn into molten METL when it touches COAL or BCOL. The COAL or BCOL is used up in this process.

Special properties

When sparked, IRON will electrolyze any nearby WATR, SLTW, or DSTW (the water will be turned into a mixture of HYGN and OXYG). Note that WATR or SLTW will cause the IRON to rust - to prevent this, place some GOLD near the IRON, or electrolyze DSTW instead of WATR/SLTW.
