The fastest way is to summon with admin powers. otherwise you have to bust ore nodes or the smallish "stream" stones along rivers then smelt.

Summon anything and everything. DInos, resources, Ascendant gear, whatever.

As for forge mods just do a search in the Workshop, maybe ask the Admin if they will add the mod..

If I remember correctly, the Industrial forge is like a level 85 engram so unless you are playing with mods, you will be stuck with the normal forge for a while. I just build about a dozen of them and get them all to refining. It makes ingots at a pretty good rate once you get them all going.

Yes, get an admin to spawn one in or if the server has downloads enabled, people can bring a wyvern or wyvern egg accross to your server and trade it with you.

- get a very high level quetz, level it for huge weight capacity (3000+).
- build like a dozen regular forges on it's back
- pre-load the forges with angler gel or spark powder (use wood if you need gunpowder)
- look up how much you need for various metal amounts so you don't waste fuel
- get a very high level anky with stats in weight, melee, and movement
- carry your high level anky to your metal resource areas.
- put your quetz on follow to your anky
- bust metal nodes with the anky till full (drop all non-metal loot).
- transfer the metal to the quetz's forges, and light the forges.
- break more metal nodes with the anky
- rinse & repeat until your quetz is around 70% max weight.
- mount quetz, pick up anky, go home, leave the forges running overnight.

add additional quetz's in daisy chain follow if you need even more hard core ingot gather.

don't bother with an industrial forge, it is faster than regular forges, but you can just let metal cook overnight. Eventually it's worth getting an industrial forge, but early on when you need ingots badly, it's not worth it to spend 2500 metal ingots on something that won't give you 'more' ingots, only cook them faster. And frankly it isn't any faster than a dozen regular forges running at once, plus the ingots you make on location at the resource nodes weigh half as much as the raw metal does (2 metal = 1 ingot) so you can carry somewhat more back each trip by processing it on the go.
