[QoL]Please add smelting time for Forge

[Vincefeld]

I want that so i can finally avoid doing math on how much iron, clay and fuel i have to place into forge so it stops working just after its done smelting.
Theres already timer for crafting so why there isnt one for smelting? I know what you about to say: theres 2 slots for smelting so which one timer should show? The answer is simple: slot that takes longest.

theres a mod for that. Forgot what it was called as I havent played in 3 months but I think it was on 7days nexus. Might have been on the 7daysmods page.

There's a mod called "Stop Fuel Waste" that solves the problem completely by automatically turning fuelled workstations off when the work has finished. That might be the one you were thinking of.

it honestly should be part of base game. no reason not to have it

I was unaware of this mod and just happened upon this post. Thank you very much lol.

There are things in game that I want and other things that are close to meaningless. If running a forge without materials damaged the forge, I might see a point. But with the ease of acquiring ores, stone, and sand developing a gauge to turn off the forge seems development time poorly spent.

Since there is a mod, all good.

Wait, isn't there a timer for both fuel and cooking/smelting? You put 1 piece of any fuel to see how long it burns for. Then you add more in the next slot. It's not even math, it's just matching of numbers.

if you payed better attention theres a timer for crafting, but not smelting

Probably wasn't an issue for me at all then. Well, won't hurt i guess.

there is a timer for smelting it tells u how long its gunna take to smelt it even does it in your inventory when breaking down items. its the same thing but they could have changed. i havent played this game in over 2 years been waiting for A21 to come out

i dont think having a timer to shut off the smelter would be what the dev wanted in there game if you want something go get a mod simple. this is a world without things like a auto shutoff for forges. just learn to shut it off before you leave thats what i did

You obviously never heard of screamers or the heat map.

[onanonehand8]

A strategy I use is to place two forges on the roof of a building. And I do that in multiple locations. I rarely have screamers. Best of luck in your gaming.

Solved by me getting chainsaw and putting 18.000 wood in every forge, campfire and ChemStation.
Wish there was more intelligent solution in base game
