Roblox ABOVE iron farm
An ABOVE Roblox iron farm is a drill-to-furnace ratio, not a crop plot. Iron is structural: two ingots make one gear. It is a weak coin loop next to berries or a big onion field, and a strong one if you are crafting machines.
Two furnace speeds and the drills that feed them
God4giveMe’s iron video describes two mixes, also summarized by aboveroblox.wiki. The summary derives from that build, so these ratios have 1 independent source. A furnace listed as 7 percent faster takes 5 tier-1 iron drills and 1 tier-1 coal drill. A furnace listed as 18 percent faster takes 2 tier-2 iron drills, 3 tier-1 iron drills, and 1 coal drill. I do not own a seconds-per-ingot measurement, so I stop at those ratios.
A tier-1 iron drill is 45,000 coins in that same recorded build, also 1 independent source. Tier-2 drill, coal drill, and furnace prices are missing, so the buy order I will write is only “tier-1 iron drills first, because that price is public.” Players report a 250-drill placement cap. It is the same class of cap as 250 harvesters, and the game listing does not confirm it.
What the ingots are for
DV Plays notes that 2 iron ingots make 1 gear. Gears show up in pumps, cookers, and the Machinery Workbench. BeepSheepHello’s 100-million-coin video shows a pile around 2.1 million iron turning into something over 25 million coins. That is a creator’s showcase, not a rate you should paste into a spreadsheet as fact. If the goal is coins tonight, read the money guide before you fill the island with drills.

Questions
Should I build iron or onions first?
Iron if you are blocked on gears and machines. Onions or berries if the goal is coins. The money page keeps those jobs separate.
How fast does a furnace smelt?
The videos give relative speed, 7 percent and 18 percent, not a base time. The base time stays blank.
