Blacksmiths Forge Cause why the heck not?

ok so I’ve played a while got a level 6 blacksmith then it hits me in what world does it make sense for a blacksmith to “Smelt” ingots on an anvil? then answer is… it makes NO Bloody sense at ALL!

so I got to thinking how can we make a Forge? I came up with using a fire pit as the base then adding dark stones to make a ring around the base of the pit Leaving the front open count 4 layers u cap off the fifth basic Forge I’ll post a pic soon

A12 update will be introducing multiple crafting stations, including the forge for the blacksmith

Some of the fun in this game is creating things the game does not have yet, with the tools we have been given, and a lot of imagination :slight_smile:
I did something similar to what @Torkkar did by placing a brazier, a bird bath and a single table by the anvil :wink: But the firepit is better, the brazier only works at night…

Have fun, Kyth.

Oh, trust me, this bothered me to no end when I first noticed it. I was formulating a big post about blacksmith issues, then just kinda meh’d out on it and assumed it would be touched up.

The inner Dwarf Fortress player in me wants there to be a separate job for smelter, but I will be happy as long as we get more advanced logistics chains for individual craftings. As @Ridesdragons pointed out.

The one bothering me the most now? The weaver working on a table to make thread. Grrr.

[/quote]though that isnt planned, there is the possibility of weapons smith and armor smith. (or so say the files)

lucky for you we’ll get all assortments of crafting stations, :smile:

though these are all older things, so they’re bound to have changed at least a little bit.
