🏢 How to Start a Company

1

Pick what your company does

Choose an industry and decide whether you'll gather, process, manufacture, sell, or provide a service.

2

Check your supply chain

Know where your inputs come from and who will buy your output. A factory without suppliers or customers can become expensive.

3

Choose a name and location

Pick a unique company name and acquire an appropriate plot, or state that a location has not been acquired yet.

4

File COM-01

Open Forms, complete Company Registration and submit it. Save your application number.

5

Wait for approval

Once approved, the company can appear in the public directory and operate as an officially registered Ironvale business.

⛏ How to Get Raw Materials

1

Find the resource

Use Materials & Industry to see whether it originates from forestry, mining, farming or another source.

2

Choose gather or buy

You can obtain accessible materials yourself or buy them from another player/company. You do not need to own every stage of production.

3

Process when needed

Some raw resources are not useful until a machine converts them into an intermediate material.

4

Build supplier relationships

High-volume businesses benefit from reliable suppliers instead of gathering every input themselves.

⚙ How Machines Work

1

Place the machine

Install it in your production area with enough room for input and output connections.

2

Open its GUI

Interact with the machine to view its current recipe, production rate, inputs, outputs and upgrade information.

3

Select a recipe

Choose what the machine should make. Recipes determine the required input items and produced output.

4

Feed the input

Supply the required resource manually or through your conveyor network.

5

Collect the output

Move finished material to storage, another machine or a sale point.

6

Upgrade

Use the machine GUI to improve supported stats such as production speed as upgrades become available.

↔ Building a Conveyor Line

1

Plan the route

Decide where items enter, which machines they visit and where finished products end up.

2

Place conveyor sections

Connect your storage or input point to the machine's intake side.

3

Connect output

Continue the line from the machine toward storage or the next processing stage.

4

Test with a small batch

Send a few items through first and confirm every stage routes correctly before loading full production.

🪙 Trading & Supply Contracts

1

Know your costs

Track what your inputs cost so you know what selling price makes sense.

2

Find buyers

Finished goods may be sold to players, stores or other companies that use them as inputs.

3

Use specialization

You can focus on one part of a chain and contract with other companies instead of owning the entire chain yourself.

♛ Growing Your Company

1

Remove bottlenecks

Find the slowest stage of production before blindly adding more machines.

2

Upgrade strategically

Improve the machinery that actually limits your output.

3

Hire and partner

Use other players for labor, transport, supply and retail rather than doing every task alone.

4

Expand

Reinvest profits into more capacity, additional products, better locations or new industries.

⚙ Materials & Industry

Learn each resource and follow the production chain.
