Iron Detail
An Iron Detail is the iron counterpart of the Bronze Detail, and getting to one takes three technologies. An Iron Ingot is smelted in Furnace II, which comes with Iron Forge (35 red); the Iron Anvil comes with Iron Smithing (50 red); and the part itself needs Iron Works (75 red), 6 to an ingot. Two town stalls, the Furniture Maker and the Smithy, sell them ready-made.
It matters because the world shows you things that need it long before you can make one. The broken door of the morgue asks for an Iron Detail and 3 Oiled Planks, and until it is repaired the donkey keeps leaving corpses outside. The blockage inside the morgue takes the same, and so do the later barricades and most of the second-tier upgrades for your home and workbenches.

Notes
- The ore is closer than the furnace. Two iron ore rocks stand just outside the graveyard, 6 ore each over two breaks, and need only Smithing mastery 3 to mine, so the ore piles up well before Furnace II can smelt it.
- The morgue door is the first thing worth an Iron Detail. One part and 3 Oiled Planks stop the donkey leaving bodies in the open.
