I believe it doubles the production in the city. Pretty sure of it. Civpedia in the game tells.

I'm wondering if anybody has ever seen the "ai" get iron works? I never have. After experiencing the joys of it, I probably be very tempted to start a war with them right away if they did get it.

It's a small Wonder, so anyone that has a city meeting the requirement can build it.

I think it's OK that IW is hard to get, but there should be a factor in it accorging to the limiting factor
number of civs
world size

the bigger the world and the fewer cis, the harder is IW to get, so why not make it possible to build it when the res are in a size 3 radius for huge / 12 civ or large / 8 civ, and in size 4 radius below this???????

Does anyone know what the manual actually means when it says "100% more production". Does it mean that say if you build a factory and a IW you get(100% + 50% +100% = ) 250% of the actual production or do you get ((100% + 100%) x 150% =) 300%of the actual production?

I have got the iron works 2 straigt cames. Good old moutain and jungle zones. Making tanks in 1 turn is cool.

I am pretty sure (but can't swear on a stack of bibles ) that all percentage modifiers in ALL contexts in the game are added together before the modifier is applied to the value that is being modified (in other words, your first example ).

This applies to the production calculations (factory - powerplant - iron works), the scientific calculations (library - university - research lab - copernicus, etc.), the economic calculations (marketplace - bank), and the unit defense bonus calculations (fortified - in metropolis - on a hill - across a river).

If I'm incorrect, someone please correct me.
