Rebar Trading - A suggested fix.
Rebar, is a somewhat scarce resource if you're someone who decided to continue playing well after "TWISTED SISTER". I've made a bunch of farms, barricades, and Grinder Discs. All of these items requiring Rebar in some way, either direct or for a component.

Problem - To my knowledge, there is around MAYBE 6-8 resource crates that respawn that can provide Rebar in 2 Portal Dimensions, and one of them is an optional one that you find through a somewhat annoying puzzle. While they do respawn, the grind is VERY tedious. Now, the F.O.R.G.E Trading does have Rebar, but you need Anomalies, which can be kinda difficult to get when you're working with a normal unedited world where night doesn't last too long. On a good night, you'll probably have a net of at least 6-8 anomalies if you're playing Single Player. Both of these methods to get Rebar can be very time consuming on unedited worlds.

Suggested Fix - I'm not exactly looking for more crates to get added to the portal dimensions, but I can see a bunch of different options for trading with the F.O.R.G.E. Change the anomaly and replace it with something else for Rebar. Could be Leather as it is a somewhat uncommon yet reliably obtainable material from Radio Packs or Briefcases. Or the tiny gears that to my knowledge still don't have any recipe connected to them. Hell, you could probably change it to a potato if you were feeling funky. After all, the High Vis Vest costs 1 Super Tomato in the F.O.R.G.E.

Potatoes would probably be too easy to get in bulk, but I really like the idea of making it a trade for leather.

Leather to Rebar is probably a better alternative to Anomalies; especially considering that the Blacksmith can utilize leather for more things than anomalies.

I'd probably change the trade for anomalies to be for bulk soil.

I got the feeling that he needed those anomalies to help with growing food. Part of the trade involve giving food items in exchange for the abundant manufacturing stuff he has.

I can't see him giving away soil, since that's probably in short supply there.

I could see leather being something he needs for patching up fire resistant clothing and the like.
