Er I thought it was its on perk. Let me look really fast. I will edit the answer in if someone doesnt cover it for you first.

Intellect 4 (lvl 20) required for Hammer and forge 1

So no crafting a forge till 20, you will have to find one in world and make due till then.

Thank you..

Woah , level 20 ?
Im like level 9 or 10 just now..

I'll look around for that forge house or other places Ive seen a forge...

Appreciated.

Btw , was the info in game ?
If it was then I missed it.. it just read as 'improve intellect to unlock', or words similar..

Kinda, while learning all the alpha 17 stuff Im playing on 120 minute days. So during night 1, I was sitting in a house reading through all the traits to try and plan things out. So I already knew Hammer and forge were its own thing, I just couldnt't remember how much Intelect it required to unlock it till I checked in game again.

Thanks for that..

I play 60 min days..
Horde night must be really long for you ?
Have you experienced the bloodmoon on a17 yet ? I hear its brutal..

You can kill zombies and level up or hide and level up really slowly.

I think it's because crafting machines at the traders were useless before, you reached level 10 fast enough to not care about them. Now you need them in the starting phase.

a16.4 forge was(one of) the direct reason you basically could bypass the survival-fase of the game.

home-forge day1 and you didnt even have to look for cooking pot, let alone farming and killing with irontools was too close to power-leveling of yourself.

Not saying level 20 is perfect, but i appriciate they have slowed down progression and let us enjoy the early stages for longer

Its pretty easy to reach lvl 20, maybe 4-5 hours, especially with the party system when youre playing with friends and sharing exp together.

To see what u need to unlock something ..hover over the lock to the right of the skill you want. Pretty easy solo jsut get out there and loot pois and kill zeds.. almsot lvl 10 at the end of day 2.

Is it locked at lvl 20 or can i get it earlier than lvl 20? because i have 6 intellect and it won't unlock.

Every skill has a little padlock if you hover your cursor over it will show what you need in total to unlock that skill

Oh wow level 20. That isn't too far.
