Iron

Last Updated:

Iron is the last resource to be unlocked in Boom Beach. It is used almost exclusively for upgrading your buildings to their final few levels. You are only able to generate Iron once you unlock the Iron Mine at Level 10. As a result, it is the most precious of the standard resources and you will only start to accrue serious amounts once you get to have a high-level Headquarters.

Generating Iron

The main way to generate Iron is to construct an Iron Mine. You can only have one of these in your base, regardless of what level your Headquarters is. You will receive a certain amount of Iron every hour, though of course you can collect smaller amounts as soon as it is produced. Below you will find details on what level the Iron Mine produces certain amounts of Iron, which is helpful in deciding whether it is worth upgrading and planning your resources appropriately.

Upgrading buildings and the Ship now costs so much wood, I never have enough but I am full with iron (almost 10000). What can I spend a lot of iron on?
I need to upgrade my wood storage which cannot hold enough for future upgrades which require 70000 or more wood and 20000 stone.

If you haven't got enough to build a mine search a resource base or simply use diamonds to upgrade your radar or other buildings

What is worth more, 3 diamonds, 1500 iron, 4000 wood? Is there a scale or something to compare values? Thanks.

Attack boom cannons with shells from boat, use a lot of infantry to swarm boom can none if they can avoid machine guns, flamethrowers, and mortars to reach them. Use smoke screen to cover approach when needed.
