Forge Heating Problem

[idcanymorebro]

I for the life of me can't get my blades to reheat past 21 c. I have max temp and everything, I saw someone else had this problem but they saved and reloaded and it was fixed and I tried that too I even deleted the game 3 times even did the tutorial again just to make sure and nothing I've been at this for 7 hours.

You put in coal first, check the coal level 20+kg close the lid and then use the blower a few times until you have the needed temp from the book for your ore/alloy and a bit over it (about 100 degree) then open the lid and take it out and pur it.

To clarify that I understand:

You are referring to the open fire that heats up to 750 degrees C correct? and not the forge that heats up the ores into liquids to be pored into the moulds?

And that with coal present in the fire and it indicating it is at the max temp of 750 degrees C, that when you place the blade you are currently hammering out or have hammered out for reheating(or any part for that matter) it won't reheat and the blade part is remaining at the base temperature of 21 degrees.

If so that sounds like a bug and I have no thoughts other than sometimes when I drop things to reheat they land weirdly and don't land all the way in and don't heat up. But it seems pretty forgiving and I've had parts sitting on the brickwork of the fire pit and still heat up.

It might be worth asking in the games Discord if you haven't already. Might get some more ideas and a quicker response.

Sounds frustrating. I hope you can get it figured out. Game is fun when it works.

(EDIT/UPDATE)
I did a search in their Discord for "heating" and couldn't find anyone talking about this issue. I did see a tip for a different problem though. that recommended turning down the grass quantity in the graphics setting.

That made me wonder if your game is otherwise running smoothly? Have you tried turning down all the graphic settings to their lowest?

(EDIT 2/UPDATE)

I am now searching the steam forum. Something I am guessing you have done as well if you've been at this for over 7 hours and mentioned trying to save and reload. So I probably found the same things you have. But I will list here anyway what I found:

I searched the steam forum for "heating" and found 56 entries: These are the ones that seemed similar to your issue and a few things to try if you haven't already.

-Could be the bounding box for the furnace. IF you're working on a large blade maybe it's not falling in correctly, and thus not heating up.

-Could be related to the Production speed modifier in the settings. Could try changing/increasing that.

-I didn't know this was possible, but apparently you can try putting your blade part in the other furnace, the enclosed one that heats up to 2000 degrees C and see if you can get it heat up in that.

I am referencing both heat places. The one for smelting ores and if you poured it into items and hammered it and want heat up again then you use the open fireplace which only heats to 750° but this is NOT for smelting ores.

I thank you for trying to help but even if I put the whole blade in the furnace it still only goes to 21 c and when I try to place it in the forge it drops to 20. I lowered my setting and graphics and I read someone else is having a problem like this and the dev responded that they will try to fix this is the next update so I guess I'll just put down the hammer and wait til it updates. Again thank you for trying to help.

And you but the blade INTO the furnace by looking forward not down and dropping it?

Yup I look straight ahead and drop it bc thats the only way bigger blades will drop correctly into the furnace.

[gnomegemini]

And this didn't work for you? Never ever have seen this problem and hav graphics at max as my PC is a steam loco.

[Morilibus]

Is it happening with everything? Pommels, guards, and smaller blades too?

[AshlasBaeldethar]

I have the same problem, been playing for a couple of days now, restarted over 5 times thinking it could be a bug. I have adjusted the speed up and put grass on only 10%, but still it will not heat.
Actually, once, yesterday it went up to 40C but then just dropped to 21C again.

[gnomegemini]

But you are using the bellow not a single but multiple times until temp is up?

[gnomegemini]

I really can't imagine thus bug to be honst. You can add me on discord as my steam name and you share your screen and I try to help.

Used the below and kept it at 750C. Got it to work once just now, after setting grass to 0%. Will play again later and see if it will keep working

Yay! That is good. Hopefully it keeps working.

[AshlasBaeldethar]

Well, it really worked for me. After it started working, I was actually able to increase grass up t50%. Above that, it stops, no idea why. At least I found out what was causing the problem. Hopefully it can will be fixed in the future

It happens with everything. I have to hammer everything in one go so I can only make daggers or short swords.
