IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator Wiki

Plot the target, measure range and bearing from the current Nest, calculate elevation for the chosen charge, load the matching shell and charges, lay and arm the intended gun, then verify before firing.

Treat each console as a physical station, keep world-space hints enabled while learning, use large levers for coarse movement and handwheels for fine adjustment, and verify the active gun before firing.

Mark every known point first, project the supplied bearings or ranges from the correct spotters, place the target at their best intersection, then measure the firing line from the current Nest position.

Match the shell to the ordered effect and target protection, confirm the expected blast or utility area on the map, and verify the loaded round before sealing the breech.

Rebuild the shot from the map outward, checking the exact Nest origin, target intersection, fresh range and bearing, calculated-versus-loaded charges, elevation, and armed barrel before compensating.

Choose a charge count the calculator accepts for the measured range, generate the elevation, load exactly that many charges, and recalculate whenever the charge count changes.

Complete each mission normally first, record its medal requirements, replay for every gold condition and ending, and update to version 1.0 (1663) before diagnosing a missing Steam unlock.

Read the teleprinter objective, solve the changing battlefield information, complete the required effects rather than merely firing, dismiss the operation newspaper, then sleep to begin the next mission.

Reserve enough requisition to execute the required shots, then spend on reconnaissance, specialized ammunition, or battlefield-control abilities only when they remove a specific mission risk.

Patch 6 version 1.0 (1663) is the latest official build verified here; it adds mission-exit Save and Resume and fixes Iron Road, gold-medal unlocks, motion blur, and attribution issues.

On version 1.0 (1663), exiting a mission creates a resumable mission save; return through the continuation option, and do not describe the system as an unrestricted manual save at any moment.

IRON NEST requires a 64-bit PC, 4 GB RAM and 5 GB storage at minimum, while Steam currently marks it Deck Verified; performance still depends on build, settings, thermals, and mission load.
