The Stone Anvil is a large block of stone shaped into an anvil. It is the heart of a Primitive Forge and the first step into blacksmithing. The in-game tooltip says it is used to build a Primitive Forge and is useless on its own.
It suits survivors who want to work metal without a factory anvil. Its main strength is that it needs only a hammer, a Large Stone and some Masonry skill. Its main cost is its great weight, which fills both hands and makes it hard to move.
The anvil is crafted. It sits outside the loot tables. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The Make Stone Anvil recipe shapes one Large Stone into a Stone Anvil with a hammer or club hammer. It needs Masonry at level 2. The hammer is kept.
The anvil then goes into the Construct Primitive Forge recipe. That recipe takes the Stone Anvil, ten Stone and one concrete item. The result is a Primitive Forge, the simplest station for forging metal.
A Primitive Forge opens the early forging recipes, such as forks and a frying pan. More advanced work needs a better forge.
The anvil weighs as much as a heavy load on its own. It must be held in both hands to move. Building it close to the forge site saves a long, slow walk.
