The Primitive Forge is the first and simplest of the forges. The in-game tooltip says it is for very simple metal forging.

It serves Blacksmithing from the very first level. At this forge a smith turns scrap and iron bloom into chunks and bars, then works those into simple blades, cookware and the first metalworking tools. It is the starting point of the forge chain. The Simple Forge comes next and adds armour and finer work. The Advanced Forge sits at the top. The forge is built from stone, concrete and a Stone Anvil.

How to Build Primitive Forge

---

The Construct Primitive Forge recipe sits in the Blacksmithing build menu. It takes ten Stone, some concrete and a Stone Anvil. This is a much lighter list than the higher forges need.

The build recipe is known from the start, with no skill level asked. That makes it the natural first forge for a new smith.

Once built, the forge has 150 health. Each level of the builder's skill adds 50 more.

The Construct Primitive Forge recipe is in the Blacksmithing build menu. It needs no skill level.

How to Use Primitive Forge

---

Working at the forge opens the Blacksmithing crafting window. Every recipe burns charcoal as an input. Small jobs take one piece, and bar work takes about four.

Tools come back after each craft. A hammer and a pair of tongs cover most jobs. Many early recipes also accept crude tongs, which helps before proper tongs are made. Chisels, punches and a heading tool join in for the tool recipes.

Iron arrives as Iron Bloom or scrap. Placing the forge near a Primitive Furnace saves carrying heavy metal over long distances.

Crafting Recipes

---

Stock work needs no Blacksmithing skill. Extract Iron from Bloom breaks an Iron Bloom into Iron Chunk. Forge Scrap Into Chunk, Forge Bar From Chunks, Forge Bar Half and Forge Block From Chunks build up usable stock. Pierce Chunk and Pierce Block make the pierced pieces that hammer heads start from. Cut Bar splits bars into halves and quarters.

The first tools come at level 1. Forge Heading Tool, Forge Metalworking Punch, Forge Tongs and Forge Smithing Hammer Head build a proper tool kit. Forge 10 Nails, Forge Nails From Piece and Forge Nails From Wire keep a builder supplied. These must be learned. Everyday Smithing - June 1993 teaches most of them, and the Blacksmith occupation and Blacksmith Knowledge trait know them already.

Forge Simple Blade is known from the start and needs no skill. Forge Small Knife and Forge Long Simple Blade come next. Forge Frying Pan, Forge Roasting Pan and Forge Bucket cover the kitchen and the yard.

Farm tools close out the list. Forge Gardening Hoe Head, Forge Hand Scythe Head, Forge Sheep Shears and Forge Garden Fork Head all work here.

Every recipe made at the Primitive Forge is listed with what it uses up, the tools it hands back and the skill it asks for. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned before it shows up. Each tab holds one crafting menu category.

Station Tiers

---

The Simple Forge runs everything this forge runs and adds armour, sheet steel and finer tools. The Advanced Forge runs all of that and more. Move up once a Blacksmith Anvil is on hand and the smith wants armour or sheet steel.

The Primitive Forge shares its recipes with the stations below. A higher station runs everything a lower one runs.

Notes

---

• The tooltip says it is for very simple metal forging.
• Charcoal is an input in every recipe here.
• Many early recipes accept crude tongs.
• Build it near a Primitive Furnace to cut down on carrying metal.
• Many learned recipes unlock on their own as Blacksmithing rises.
