How Ironman profiles work

Ironman can remain installed regardless of which profile you are currently using. The Ironman rules and restrictions only apply to players using one of the Ironman profiles above. Vanilla or Modded SPT profiles are unaffected.

Ironman profiles are intentionally more tedious and unforgiving than the standard experience. Expect stricter progression, greater restrictions, and harsher consequences for death.
