Forge

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

Usage

 * Up to 28 Metal ores will fit inside and can be smelted into lumps.


 * The forge heats metal items inside it to "glowing hot" in order to do smithing related work on them.


 * Clay pottery items are turned into pottery once they are "glowing hot" for a length of time.


 * Any item which can be repaired and burned, wood and cloth based items for example, will when placed in the forge start to rapidly lose quality after it reaches glowing hot. Burnable non-repair items take damage. Once an item either exceed 99.99 damage or its quality falls below 0 it is destroyed.
 * Cooking in a forge adds 10 difficulty to the food item being cooked.

Fueling

 * To light the forge you need a Kindling in inventory. Then, use a Steel and flint on the forge to open its context menu and choose "Light".


 * There are two ways to fuel a forge. One way is to use a fueling item on the forge and from the context menu choose "fuel". Another way is to place burnable items inside it which will fuel the forge when they are destroyed.


 * 20kg of fuel is the maximum weight a fire will benefit from. You can burn as much as you want but only up to 20kg worth will count.


 * Higher quality forages burn longer and takes things to glowing hot faster.
 * Birchwood and Peat are a more efficient fuels. 10 kg of either is about as much as 20 kg of others.
