Iron

Iron comes in two forms, iron ore and iron. Iron ore is mined from iron mines and is processed into iron in iron ore processing plants. Both are aggregates and are transported as such.

Iron ore

Iron ore is a resource in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. Iron ore is produced in iron mines, at a rate of 4 tons of ore per worker per workday.

Iron ore alone is not very profitable if exported in its raw form.

Iron

Iron is a resource in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. Iron is produced by the iron ore processing plant. The processing plant takes iron ore and processes it into iron that can be used to make steel or export for more money. An iron ore processing plant can process a maximum of 225t of ore at maximum efficiency, with 15 workers. In this case it produces 105t of iron per workday. This means the conversion ratio of iron ore to iron is 2.14 : 1.

Ore mines and processors can be set up in many different ways, but it is always better to "do the math" when planning infrastructure. Plan based on what the ore is needed for. Counting from the end consumer (i.e. Steel mill) is advisable.
