Upgrading Town Center

Also, a Wagon shop must be set up in your city if you want to build the Iron Mine. It requires wooden planks to be built. You will also need them to build the Clay Pit in Farthest Frontier. In order to upgrade the Town Center, you will need the following resources. 

  •  1200 gold 
  •  100 clay 
  •  100 planks 
  •  125 citizens 

When you have constructed both of the buildings, you will be able to establish the Iron Mine. 

After the players have collected enough amounts of Iron Ore, they can now upgrade their Town Center to tier 3 in Farthest Frontier.

Also, the upgrade is still pretty minimum, and it will take the players a lot of time before they complete the upgrade. Once you reach tier three of Town Center, you can now construct a Foundry. 

How To Make Iron Bars 

Once you unlock the Foundry, you can make Iron Bars in Farthest Frontier easily. In order to construct a Foundry, head to the Buildings section in Farthest Frontier.

It is to be noted that in order to build a Foundry, you will need a Heavy Tool. The heavy tool can usually be obtained among a Trader’s Offerings. Therefore you must construct and set up a Trading Post before making the Foundry.
