Forging

Description
Forge weapons, shields and Armor!

Adds smelters to melt gear into their metal, forges to forge them into new items and
an entire skill tree for forging! (Hearthpyre supported!)

Also adds nuggets and ingots of all metals.

Semi savegame compatible:
Map changes will not take effect if given zone is already explored. Thus you will have to find randomly generated forges or simply spawn them in. (commands below)

To make forging attractive early-game a tier 1 forge & smelter are added to Joppa.
The other forges are found somewhere in qud or randomly generated in ruins or underground.
If you are lazy and dont wanna search for them, read backwards:
gewappojgwe
drhgrit gateqgs
dgretag tirg
sdgazrewgd
asddloheerf ydgsd

The Tiers are:

Tier 1: Forge & Smelter
Bronze, Iron, Steel

Tier 2: Advanced Forge & Smelter
(folded) Carbide, Fullerite

Tier 3: Paradox Forge & Smelter
(flawless) Crysteel

Tier 4: Advanced Paradox Forge & Smelter
Zetachrome


Sprites are very basic. Sorry im just an humble coder and not an artist. If someone wants to add better sprites feel free to comment it and we get in contact :)
Let me know about any bugs you encounter or missing items in the forge lists.
I am very open to your feedback on balancing too. The current item costs / smelt values are more of a "guess" than a final thing, so please let me know what you think about them.

Also many thanks to all the helpful hands on the discord!

Technical Info

Version 1.0.0
Reuploaded to not break savegames.

Commands are:
Forge
Tilidien Advanced Forge
Tilidien Paradox Forge
Tilidien Advanced Paradox Forge

Tilidien Smelter
Tilidien Advanced Smelter
Tilidien Paradox Smelter
Tilidien Advanced Paradox Smelter

Nuggets and Ingots can be wished for with their ingame name, even if their object names are actually also prefixed with my steam name to avoid conflicts.

Most weapons smelt to 3 nuggets and need 10 (or 1 ingot) to be forged.
Daggers cost only 2 and yield only 1 nugget.
Katanas and spears (if added by another mod) cost 8 and yield 2
10 Arrows cost 1 Nugget, and 20 yield 1, but that will be changed to 100 / 1000 in the next update for balancing.
I suggest not exploiting it or entirely forgetting that arrows are smelt-able for now.

I'm getting an odd bug where i no longer have the option to choose what I want to forge, and no items are smelting.

Does this add gold and silver bars too?

Hoe to add other mods armors into this?

Sorry delicious friends,
This year has been keeping me very busy and there are factors in my private life aswell. Ill make sure to make up to you by updating SOON.

If this Situation continues to delay updates for my mods i will consider moving source to public domain despite my story with the community.

@AlwaysAngron
Exactly.
I was keeping this secret to allign with how the game likes to do the same.
To get this straight:
Tinkersmith enables the modding chance modifiers at item creation.
This mechanic the SAME to what Tinkering uses.
I'd love to see your face when you realize what that means for you <3

@AlwayAngron not as of now but i love the idea. What would you guys use as coal?

Using any forge tells me that I need the moremoddinggoodies skill
Cassius Mishima 4 Jun @ 12:50pm 
Helloooo I have a question,

Can Iron be refined into steel?

Thank you :Corpus:
AlwaysAngron 20 May @ 8:14pm 
Are you meaning that there is a random chance to already have a mod installed or?

Can you explain tinkersmith better so that we know?

@omican
All effects. That even means that modded effects that apply on tinkered items also apply on forged ones. If you dont know its not useful to you. If you know you will also know why the skill is so expensive. (even in otherwise vanilla game)

Updated for Hearthpyre support and removed obsolete stuff.
Tell me if anything goes wrong.
T1 forges are instantly available in the schemer. other tiers are offered by some special individuals ;)
