The scanner shows a cluster as the sum of its rocks, so a reading here means this many rocks of that type. Other ores' rocks can land on the same number — check it in the signal calculator.
One recommendation per ship: easiest handling with enough power for your scan.
Enter the scan values and press Suggest loadouts.
Suggestions must overcome charge decay with sustained power, without relying on a temporary active boost. Leave resistance blank to use this rock type's estimated typical resistance (≈0%); enter the scanned value for your rock. Listed active modules must be firing and the recommended gadget applied to reach the boosted limit. These are estimates from game data. Rocks beyond single-head capacity show crewed options only.
Iron spawns at 16 locations in Pyro, Stanton and Nyx. The richest are Adir, Vatra, Bloom, Magda and Lyria. It grows in Iron rocks.
Iron sells for up to 4,000 aUEC per refined SCU at the best-paying terminal, from Motherlode's price data. Prices move between patches, so check the price table before you sell.
Iron spawns with a quality between 245 and 1000 out of 1000, depending on the location and rock. Higher quality Iron is worth more when you sell or craft with it.
Levski (+8%), MIC-L5 (+8%) and CRU-L1 (+2%) pay the highest yield bonus on Iron. 6 stations in total have a bonus on it.
It depends on your ship and the rock. This page recommends a laser, modules and gadget for the Prospector, Golem and MOLE (solo or fully crewed) against Iron rocks, with Max mass, Balanced and Easiest options and a difficulty rating for each.
