Description
A forge made from stone bricks and clay, intended for smelting and smithing.
Method
Activate the stone 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 stone brick activated, and choose Continue building.
- The first lump of clay you use when starting the forge will be completely consumed, no matter how big it is.
- 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.
Improvements
To improve a forge's quality, right-click and examine it, and in the event window you will see what you need. Either:
- Activate a stone chisel from your inventory, right-click the forge and select Chip; or
- Activate a rock shards from your inventory, right-click the forge and select Improve.
The quality level of a forge affects both how long it stays lit for and how long it takes to heat up items.
- Example: A 40 QL forge will take [<20] minutes to get iron lumps glowing, although it depends on the quality of the lumps also.
- It will last for about 40 minutes before it needs refueling. A 70 QL forge burns for 115 minutes.
Usage
- Smelting metal ore into lumps
- Heating up items
- Hardening items like pottery or key moulds
- Cooking. - Note: With lower cooking skill, it is better to use a stone oven for cooking, because it adds less difficulty in meals. In contrast, those with high cooking skill might prefer the increased skill gain of cooking with a forge.
Tips
- 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 7 cauldrons.
- A forge will hold at most 28 ore.
- Metal scraps will cool much faster than usual in an unlit forge, regardless of the forge ql.
- Some wooden or cloth items will burn up if left inside, some won't; for example small barrels won't burn up.
