Seriously. The Vulcan Forge.

[Captain Obvious]

Now that it's NECCESSARY to have this to make the more interesting metals (cloudstone, jade steel, vulcan steel)...
When the hell do we get it?!

Is it in the game? Is it not? I don't want to play past a certain point only to find it's patched later and have to reload a save from BEFORE said point.

Is it before or after the merchant? When abouts? How're we meant to get the materials to make it?

And I needs me some cloudstone to make my awesome ship.

So c'mon guys, when and where and how and why?!

WHY is it so hard to get this damned item?

Currently, the quest to get this item is bugged. Be patient. Friday is the next patch and is supposed to fix this issue. I'm having no problems progressing with a titanium ship and some fancy maneuvering.

you will get fhe forge recipe even if you use a save past the point were you were supposed to get it

[Aetrion]

I don't know when you're supposed to get it, but it seemed to me like after I finished the first visit 4 temples quest would have been the right time, that was 26 hours into the game for me and I was getting a little tired of steel and wood.

[dj8472]

i believe that was the point, when you get the quest to go to the merchant of clouds.
you can mine titanium in the upper layer and adamantite in the gas layer

[Captain Obvious]

Yeah, but neither of those are cloud stone. Cloud stone as in "you'll need this if you want a ship made of addy that doesn't drop like a stone" Cloud stone.

Not to mention the weapons and equipment!
Know the fastest way to mine addy? Cloudstone knife.

Should i have this forge after escaping (and completly killing everyone) from prison and defending the city?

[dj8472]

you should be given the forge after you completed the 3 temples in the primary missions after the prologue - the second quest,
you should get the forge when you get the quest to meet the merchant of clouds

[DikiyBraz]

"be patient" wtf is that? i payed my money for this crap and need to wait?

[Captain Obvious]

I kind of agree with Dikiy here. It's a great game, and I'm thoroughly loving the experience, but removing the craft-anywhere "bug" and NOT implementing the forge was frankly just sloppy.
Imagine in facebook did it, hell, even valve!
"We've removed the ability to play any game... Oh, but you can't buy them yet. We'll work that out soon."

No, keep the exploit until you've made the fix.

[RTG]

Come on guys. Its very activly worked on, and many full prize titles (in the 50s) come with similar issues in the beginning to be quite honest.
Yes, it is a huge concern and will work tommorow according to the devs.

[GoodLife]

You could stop flaming the devs here. I buy a lot of Steam games, and in almost all of them the devs never reply to anything, a few of them are really bugged - some I have bought and they are still buggy to the point that they are unplayable. Snowed In replies on a daily basis and is working very hard to fix the game. Give them some credit for that.

[Captain Obvious]

It's a great game, no-ones denying that.

But what they did was solve a bug that ALLOWED players to do something, without fixing the bug that PREVENTS them.

And that's just bad design.

[The Stygian River]

The Fix tomorrow will include adding the Vulcan forge. They just Hot-fixed the useallrecipeseverywhere bug a bit early

[Captain Obvious]

So leave the hot-fix til the roll-out! :P

[GoodLife]

It might not have been intended. They probably fixed the use everywhere bug already and had to hotfix something else, patching both in the process. Only 24h left to go.
