Transforms Iron 
into ATP 
by the process of Iron Chemolithoautotrophy. The rate of this reaction scales with the amount of Carbon Dioxide 
in the environment.
Requirements
No requirements.
Processes
Iron Chemolithoautotrophy: Iron + Carbon Dioxide → ATP
A method of generating energy without Glucose 
. Consumes Iron and scales with the amount of environmental Carbon Dioxide .
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
No effects.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
Iron is a valuable alternative resource to use instead of Glucose since it doesn't decay in the environment. Rust-eating cells are likely to enjoy plentiful nutrients in patches where Iron is abundant.
