The Forge can be turned on either with the on/off button below the fuel, or turned on by starting a new recipe. This process requires time, fuel sources to operate, and scrapped or whole materials to smelt.Ī Forge allows survivors to craft advanced Tools, Building Materials, ammunition components, and other Resources.įuel is placed in the cells below the tool cells. 8 All Forged Items Sorted by IngredientĪ Forge is used to smelt items into refined products that are more useful.

Install tools to increase performance or unlock recipes" It makes no sense that it somehow magically keeps all raw materials in some constant fluid state to cast things from whenever you need it."Used to smelt metals to craft tools and weapons or stone to craft cement. Why it doesn't just output ingots instead is baffling. I think the clay is meant to be for making molds, not for mixing, since it's involved in anything that has a shape.īut yeah, the forge is really dumb.
Like an animated gif as part of the forge journal entry, that shows wiggling arrows pointing to the input melters and flashing text that says "put your crafting ingredients here and melt them". Maybe just a a quick tutorial when we first make a forge. I think the current concept of simply having forge input "melters" (or whatever you want to call them) and forge output items is an okay system. However, I don't think the above level of overthinking it is really helping to clarify anything either. For example, you don't make steel by heating and cooling iron and then heating and cooling clay and then mixing the two together. The process itself makes no sense either. The whole meaning of the word simply doesn't apply. None of the things "smelted" in 7DTD can be smelted. Smelting is a chemical reaction to reduce metal compounds in ore to pure (ish) metal. Originally posted by Tahnval:I think it confuses many newcomers because the process makes no sense and it's using the wrong word.
The only thing particularly lacking about the existing forge is that the steel should technically include some kind of carbon like coal coke. Melting materials into the forge is the equivalent of preparing it for use- And you don't mix clay into things, but you DO make Molds to shape molten metals. You don't craft things with cold metal scraps, either. Although that's not really what forging is. So iron put in the forge becomes processed iron, which you can use for making forged iron (or whatever). Although that's not really what forging is.Ī better system that would leave the current mechanics intact would be a simple relabelling - you need to process raw materials into processed materials that are used for crafting. If I was tasked with creating a recipe for confusion regarding forging, I'd be proud to come up with the current system because it's very well designed for the purpose of confusing players.Ī better system that would leave the current mechanics intact would be a simple relabelling - you need to process raw materials into processed materials that are used for crafting. You need iron and clay, not iron and clay. It's made worse because the materials and the somehow transformed materials you can use to make stuff in the forge are given the same name. The OP (and many others) are confused about not being able to use materials from their inventory because we should be able to. The two step process doesn't make sense for any of the things made in the forge in 7DTD. I think it confuses many newcomers because the process makes no sense and it's using the wrong word. I'm used to it, but I guess a tutorial or better interface would help. Originally posted by Sage Red:I was confused why I couldn't just use clay and iron from my inventory.
