Iron Nest is a first-person dieselpunk heavy-artillery simulator where you command a single roughly 5000-ton turret across a 15-mission campaign from Calibration Fire to White Shells.

This guide hub collects the beginner walkthrough, the full mission list, the shell and ammo database, the ending explanations, and the interactive calculators that static wikis lack.

The core skill is manual gunlaying: you receive map coordinates, plot the target, set the turret bearing and barrel elevation, choose a powder charge, then fire one deliberate shot at a time.

There is no auto-aim and no random shell spread, so the same bearing, charge, and elevation always land on the same point — mastery is pure calculation, not reflexes.

Requisition credits limit which of the 21 shell types you can fire, so the strategic layer is buying the right round for the target instead of the most expensive one.

New players should start with the tutorial mission Calibration Fire, then read the How To Play page before tackling the timed Counter-Battery mission.

The campaign's final mission, White Shells, lets you pick the shell fired over the last city, and that choice decides one of four endings: PRPG, chemical submission, Atomic destruction, or The Road.

Because Iron Nest is single-player only (a developer-confirmed design), every guide here assumes one operator at the turret with no co-op or multiplayer modes.

This page separates documented information from assumptions so players can use it as a reference without treating unverified claims as fact. Check the in-game interface and official announcements when a mechanic, availability detail, or value may have changed after the source was collected.

This article was compiled from the supplied research file guides/iron-nest-guide.md. Any detail not supported by that material is marked **待确认** and should be verified against official Iron Nest channels before relying on it.
