In Infinite Craft, you can make just about anything from four simple starting elements.

In this article, we go over the fastest Iron recipe, some other Iron recipes, and what you can make with Iron.

Making Iron in Infinite Craft

The fastest way to make Iron is to combine Earth and Wind to get Dust, Fire and Water to get Steam, Fire and Steam to get Engine, Dust and Engine to get Vacuum, Dust and Vacuum to get Clean, and Clean and Steam to get Iron. Iron is used to make many items, including Rust, Robot, Ship, and Iron Man.
