== 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]], you must first right -clickand examine it, and examine the forge. In in the [[event window]] you will see what you need to work on the forge to improve its [[quality]]. In all cases it will either require a [[stone chisel]] to chip away irregularities or [[rock shards]].Either:
To improve with a stone chisel:# * Activate a [[stone chisel ]] from your inventory# Right, right-click the stone forge and select '''ImprovementsChip'''/; or* Activate a [[rock shards]] from your inventory, right-click the forge and select '''ChipImprove'''.
To improve with rock shards:# Activate The quality level of a rock shards from your inventory# Right-click the stone forge affects both how long it stays lit for and select how long it takes to heat up items.:'''Improvements'''/'''Improve'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 [[:Category:Ores | metal ore]] into lumps.:*Heating up items.:*Hardening items like [[Cookingpottery]] Cooking in a or [[forgekey mould]] is not recommended because there is a larger chance of burning your food. For s*[[cookingCooking]] . - ''Note'': With lower cooking skill, it would be is better to use a [[stone oven]]. Howeverfor cooking, because of the increased it adds less difficulty of in [[meal]]s. In contrast, those with high cooking, many people do cook in forges for skill might prefer the increased skill gainof cooking with a forge.
== Tips ==
:* The first lump of clay you use (when starting the forge) will be completely consumed even if it is a 20kg lump.:* Subsequent use Only 20 kg of clay can be taken from a single 20kg lump, however that is inefficient since the lump will become progressively more damaged.:* The [[qualityfuel]] level of is needed at a forge time, any more is a factor in both how long it stays lit for and how long it takes to heat up itemsunnecessary. Example: a 40[[QL]] forge will take 20 minutes to get iron lumps glowing (also depends on quality of lumps).:* A 70 [[quality]] level forge burns for 115 minutes with 20kg of [[peat]] set to burn in it. :* If using [[wood scrap]] as [[fuel]] only burn 20kg at a time. A 40QL forge will last for approximately 40 minutes before it needs refueling (more than 20kg does not seem to effect how long the forge lasts at any QL)affect burning time.:* A forge will hold 28 [[ore]] at most. However, using a Put items in [[cauldron]] s or a [[backpack]] allows s inside the forge to allow it to hold more thingsitems.:* A forge will hold 7 [[cauldron]]scauldrons.:* [[Tar]] and other fuel sources can also be used; some burn better than others. See [[fuel]] for more infoA forge will hold at most 28 ore.:* Metal scraps will cool much faster than usually usual in an unlit forge , regardless of the forge ql.:* Cotton Some wooden or cloth items such as [[satchel]]s will burn up if left inside.:* Some wooden items will burn up, some won't (; for example small barrels donwon't burn up):* QL of fuel does not seem to affect forge's burning time.
