What’s organic iron?
Same as iron but costs 30% more
The correct answer here.
Looks like iron sulfide, pyrite, and greigite in this case.

Lots of carbon = iron

Zero carbon = iron

organic iron plates, not plates of organic iron.
the plates are generated by an organic process, not out of organic materials.

Makes sense, thanks
