The Simple Forge is the middle tier of the forges. The in-game tooltip says it is for more advanced metal forging, including metal armour.

It serves Blacksmithing, with Tailoring joining in for the armour straps. Every recipe from the Primitive Forge also works here. On top of those, it adds metal armour, sheet steel, finer cookware, most hand tools and spiked weapons. A smith usually builds it after some practice at the Primitive Forge. The Advanced Forge is the last step after it. The forge is built from the build menu.

How to Build Simple Forge

The Simple Forge recipe sits in the Blacksmithing build menu. It takes thirty Stone Block, some concrete, a Blacksmith Anvil, a Wooden Bucket and a Log. A Mason's Trowel is also needed, and it is kept after the build.

The Blacksmith Anvil is the hard part to find or make. It is heavy, so plan the forge site before moving it.

The build is stonework laid with a Mason's Trowel. It needs no Masonry level, and the recipe is known from the start.

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

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

How to Use Simple Forge

Working at the forge opens the Blacksmithing crafting window. Every recipe burns charcoal as an input. Armour eats the most, and a full body piece takes a large pile.

Tools come back after each craft. A smithing hammer or ball peen hammer, tongs, metalworking pliers, chisels and punches cover most jobs. Armour also asks for a sewing needle, an awl and heavy thread.

Placing the forge near a furnace saves carrying heavy metal over long distances.

Crafting Recipes

Sheet steel is the key new material. Forge Steel Sheet, Forge Small Steel Sheet and Split Metal Sheet make the sheets that armour and pans are cut from.

Cookware is the useful mid-game set. Forge Baking Pan, Forge Baking Tray, Forge Cooking Pot, Forge Saucepan and Forge Cup all work here. The Everyday Smithing - May 1993 magazine teaches most of them.

Hand tools follow. Forge Metalworking Pliers, Forge Metalworking Chisel, Forge File, Forge Saw, Forge Scissors, Forge Drill and Forge Needle make a full workshop kit. Forge Ball-peen Hammer Head, Forge Claw Hammer Head, Forge Hatchet Head, Forge Axe Head and Forge Spade Head make heads for bigger tools.

Armour needs Blacksmithing 4 and Tailoring 2 or more. Assemble Forearm Armor, Forge Metal Helmet and Forge Metal Body Armor are early pieces. Forge Coat of Plates Body Armor is the top piece. Armor in the Iron Age and European Armor in the Late Medieval Era teach them.

Weapons include Forge Large Knife Blade, Forge Simple Shortsword Blade, Forge Crude Sword Blade, Make Spiked Club and Make Spiked Baseball Bat. Medieval Armory magazines teach several of them.

Every recipe made at the Simple 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 Primitive Forge runs only the basic part of this list. The Simple Forge adds armour, sheets and most tools. The Advanced Forge runs everything here and adds fine blades, heavy tool heads and tools such as Forge Wrench and Forge Crowbar. Move up once a Large Bellows is on hand and the smith wants swords or a sledgehammer.

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

Notes

  • The tooltip says it handles more advanced forging, including metal armour.
  • Armour recipes need both Blacksmithing and Tailoring.
  • Charcoal is an input in every recipe here.
  • The Mason's Trowel used for the build is kept.
  • Many learned recipes unlock on their own as Blacksmithing rises.
