Detail: Blacksmith bellows and furnace

Working on a blacksmith’s shop for my town and thought I’d share some screens of my progress! So far I’ve made a furnace with bellows and a workbench/anvil thing, what else should I make for my blacksmith? I’ve got a lot of room left, and a pretty limited variety of things I can put in there. Ideas?

The forge and anvil/workbench from the outside.


The bellows on the other side of the forge, to heat the furnace!

For the forge, try red gleam with torches underneath - it makes the gleam give off wisps of smoke :wink:

Great idea! I had the torches there, I didn’t even consider red gleam! That opens up some great lighting options too

Red gleam color saturation is pretty low, even a single near by torch overwrites it…
@James any chance of tweaking the color saturation in the future? Lava has such wonderful color saturation but it can’t be placed yet…

I also have plans for a grand blacksmith, and was thinking to do the bellows with slabs stacked at a long angle.

A smelter for melting and mixing metals into alloys. Welcome to the Bronze Age!

Thanks for the idea! I managed to use the torch trick on ember blocks to make them spark and pop, and a new lighting bug I found to allow the red gleam to glow through the floor without the torches covering up the glow. I present; The smelter!

Where is this again?

Helios City, Sedatars. I won’t post the cords here, but it’s fairly easy to find.

My home point is already set inside the City… handy!

I’m gonna have to check this out sometime. Is it a far walk from my tower? Also, I was thinking about eventually building a small town near, or around my tower. Like, on those mountains and was wondering if you’d like to join that project once I get around to it.
