Iron is so rare

    I have only found 2 iron ore in my planet, and i looked left and right and everywhere and went to the deepest caves. This is getting insane. But, I have LOADS of copper

    You have to keep in mind that everything is based off of RNG, which means it's all luck. I personally found HUGE iron veins on my starting planet, but significantly less coal/copper.

    This is truth. Some things are easy to find, others are not. Eventually you will hit the mother load of everything.

    I have found LOADS of coal and copper, but no iron. And trust me, I look alot.

    Well, the problem is. I only have 2 planets. They are alpha. I am relatively new so yeah. I checked my starting planet too. Only a few iron ores.

    There are much more than two planets in any given sector, If you right click when you are looking at the planets it will show the star map.

    Planets in the delta sector do not have iron. Period.

    Indeed. And to expand on this advice, when you unlock the beta sector, there'll be another icon to the top-right, next to the A. With that, you select the sector you wish to explore.

    Yeah. First right-click on the navigation screen gives you a view of the current star system, and it costs only 50 fuel to reach any of the other local planetary systems.

    Another right-click gives you the proper sector map, but moving between star systems is considerably more fuel-consuming.
