For quick crafting of the first iron, you need to craft a shuttle and fly to Glacio. On the surface of Glacio, you will find a huge amount of hematite.

Ps: You don’t need to worry about oxygen and energy. Glacio is abundant with hematite on the surface, and you can easily dig it up near your shuttle.
