To improve a forge, you must first right click, and examine the |forge. In the [[Event window]] you will see what you need to work on the forge to improve its [[quality]].

== Tips ==
+
Forges with rare properties heat up contained items more quickly and stay lit longer than their regular counterparts.
:* The quality level of your [[forge]] is a factor in both how long it stays lit for and how long it takes to heat up items. EG:/ a 40ql forge will take 20 minutes to get iron lumps glowing (May also depend on quality of lumps)
 
:* If you use wood scrap as fuel only burn 20wt at a time - a 40ql forge will last for approximately 40minutes before you need to refuel (more than 20wt does not seem to effect how long the forge lasts at any ql)
 
:* Your [[forge]] will hold 28 count [[ore]] at most.
 
:* With the addition of [[tar]] and such you can use those as substitutes , however some burn better -- I am not sure which.
 
  
 +
== Notes ==
 +
* Only 20 kg of [[fuel]] is needed at a time; any more is unnecessary. QL of fuel does not seem to affect burning time.
 +
* Put items in [[cauldron|cauldrons]] or [[backpack|backpacks]] inside the forge to allow it to hold more items.
 +
* A forge will hold 8 cauldrons.
 +
* A forge will hold at most 28 ore.
 +
* Items that can be [[Fuel|burned]] like [[tar]] or wooden items will take damage in forges once they are almost searing hot. If the item can be repaired, it will lose QL but show no damage.
 +
* Items can be placed onto it (if there is enough room) and will be heated if the forge is hot. Wooden or otherwise flammable items placed on the forge will be burned.
 +
* Any [[fuel]] source can be burned in the forge for [[fuel]]. This method is the same as Activating the [[fuel]] and selecting ''Burn'' in the actions menu.
 +
* Can be loaded with a wagon or a large cart (runed with a zinc [[rune]] of Magranon). The forge takes up a little bit more space as 3 large crates.
 +
* Planted forges will not take damage on deeds.
 +
* Can be cleaned of [[ash]] with an activated [[shovel]].
 +
* A rendered forge requires one extra clay to build.

Description

A forge made from stone bricks and clay, intended for smelting and smithing.

Method

Activate the brick, right-click the clay, and select Create > Containers > forge. The unfinished forge will drop in front of you on the ground. Right-click it with either another clay or brick activated, and choose Continue building.

  • Subsequent clay can be taken from a single big lump piece by piece. However, the lump will become progressively more damaged if you fail attaching it.

To light the forge, activate a steel and flint with a kindling in your inventory, then right-click the forge and select Light. To then fuel the forge, activate any wooden item, right-click the forge and select Burn. Alternatively, the fuel can be placed inside the forge, letting the fire damage do the rest.

Burn time

The quality level of a forge affects both how long it stays lit for and how long it takes to heat up items.

A 74 quality forge will burn for roughly 2 hours 40 minutes with 20kg of fuel.

A 60 quality forge will burn for about 30 minutes with 1 kindling only. Enough time to allow cleaning for ash.

Usage

Rare Functionality

Note: Rare functionality is still not completely understood and is an exciting aspect of the game. Most information listed is only an observation of one or more players rather than confirmed by developers.


Forges with rare properties heat up contained items more quickly and stay lit longer than their regular counterparts.

Notes

  • Only 20 kg of fuel is needed at a time; any more is unnecessary. QL of fuel does not seem to affect burning time.
  • Put items in cauldrons or backpacks inside the forge to allow it to hold more items.
  • A forge will hold 8 cauldrons.
  • A forge will hold at most 28 ore.
  • Items that can be burned like tar or wooden items will take damage in forges once they are almost searing hot. If the item can be repaired, it will lose QL but show no damage.
  • Items can be placed onto it (if there is enough room) and will be heated if the forge is hot. Wooden or otherwise flammable items placed on the forge will be burned.
  • Any fuel source can be burned in the forge for fuel. This method is the same as Activating the fuel and selecting Burn in the actions menu.
  • Can be loaded with a wagon or a large cart (runed with a zinc rune of Magranon). The forge takes up a little bit more space as 3 large crates.
  • Planted forges will not take damage on deeds.
  • Can be cleaned of ash with an activated shovel.
  • A rendered forge requires one extra clay to build.
