About Iron Nest Wiki
Who We Are
Iron Nest Wiki is an unofficial fan-made resource dedicated to "IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator," the dieselpunk heavy-artillery simulator developed and published by Nick Nieuwoudt and Dominik Latos.
We research, organize, and verify game information to help operators get the most out of their 5,000-ton machine. Our mission is to be the most helpful and accurate guide resource for the Iron Nest community — from day one.
What We Offer
- Game Guides: Beginner guides, station-by-station breakdowns, and the complete core loop
- Map & Targeting: The tactical map grid, tokens, pencils, compass work and triangulation techniques
- Ballistics: Ballistic calculator inputs, firing cards, shell types and load order — no math required
- Strategy: Requisition spending, upgrade paths, counter-battery survival and challenge mode tips
- Regular Updates: Content updated as the game receives patches and the community verifies more of its systems
How We Research Content
Every guide on this site is built through a research process that includes:
- Official Sources: Steam store page, developer announcements, and official patch notes
- Community Research: Steam Community discussions, player reports, and community-verified findings
- Cross-Referencing: Information is checked against multiple sources before publication
- Regular Re-Verification: Guides include a "Last checked" date, and we review content as new patches are released
Each guide includes a Verification section showing when it was last checked and which sources were consulted. If you find information that is outdated or incorrect, please let us know.
Editorial Standards
- Verification first: Numerical values (damage, stats, costs) are only included where they can be verified against official sources or consistent community consensus
- Source transparency: Guides indicate where information comes from, and community-reported figures are labeled as such
- Corrections welcome: Game mechanics change. We fix errors when reported
- Community-driven: We prioritize topics that real players are asking about on Steam, Reddit, and community forums
