Overview
Iron Bullets are the upgrade path from Stone Bullets. Each craft converts one iron ingot into five bullets and grants a 25% boost to projectile damage. Iron Bullets become the default firearm ammunition once the player has a stable iron supply from Foothills mining.

Sourcing Detail
Iron Ingots are smelted from Foothills Iron Ore at a Smelting Furnace. Each craft of Iron Bullets uses 1 Iron Ingot to produce 5 bullets, which means one stack of 20 bullets costs roughly 4 Iron Ingots. That is a significant mid-game commitment, but once the player has a stable Foothills mining route, it pays off across Pistols, Muskets, and Blunderbusses simultaneously.
Damage Qualifier
The reported +25 percent projectile damage figure over baseline Stone Bullets traces to MetaForge's ammo crafting guide. A second independent confirmation of the exact 25 percent figure was not located; treat it as a widely-cited community number rather than a patch-note-verified stat. Directionally, every guide agrees Iron Bullets are a clear upgrade over Stone at mid-game progression.
