Thoughts about "Iron Rot"
kazimmoinuddin:
How exactly do they get metal for their needs? Trees I can understand can be harvested even if the process is risky, but how can they ever mine in safety. The surface is mist covered and dangerous, so how would they find new mines to suit their needs. Can mines be run for centuries without playing out.

Depends on how much energy you have and what you're mining(you can use explosives to get at ore, but not a good idea with coal, for instance. ) But sure, a large bit of ore could handle mining for centuries.
kazimmoinuddin:
Do we know how many spires these mines are said to be supplying, I can under stand limited mining being acceptable for a few, but for larger numbers a powerful monopoly would be formed.

I think that's answered in Grimm's discussion of what to do with the crew of the Auroran vessel. I forget what they were called (base of the Spire?), but Grimm strongly advocated that the crew not be sent to what I assumed were the mines. I might be wrong on my assumption, but it at least seemed likely from my reading.

That was my thought at well. He said they'd be "set to work at the base of the spire" which I took to mean a forced labor detail that does all the various things they cannot do/get from the spire, ie resource gathering like wood and ore. Food plants are grown hydroponically, but wood trees at least are surface-grown
