Black ForestHammerCrafting

Metalworking station for crafting, upgrading and repairing bronze, iron, silver and black metal gear. It costs Stone, Coal, Wood and Copper, is built near a Workbench (so it arrives after Eikthyr, once you can mine Copper) and needs a roof to be used. Six upgrades within 5 m take it to level 7, and each level adds 3 m to its 20 m build radius.


How to upgrade it · 6

Each upgrade is built next to the station and raises it one level. Level 1 is the station on its own.
