Forge workbench upgrades annoying?

[CrazyManSage]

It's incredibly annoying to me whenever I see the anvil up to the elbow in height, or the transfer anvil so low that I always make a little seat for it just to make it seem realistic. Does anyone else feel this pain or is it just a smith thing?

Nope. The anvil is pure prop. It is there to support the base building progression. It is there as a simulated excuse to explain why the forge should now be a higher level.

I just hate how you can’t move some of them closer together. I like having a busy looking workspace. It gives makes my house feel more lived in, but it’s a real pain in the ass when I can’t place two upgrades next to each other despite having tons of space between them.

Also, yeah, the height of the anvil is a tad annoying too.

Also, why is the bellows a forge upgrade lol? Not only is it huge, but it would both make more sense as a furnace upgrade and be nice to have faster smelting speed.

I just used the bellows and an iron pit with the big anvil to set up a secondary smithing spot. The small anvils are for the work station and the big and small anvils share the dousing barrel. In the back I have the tool rack at the wall with some item stands and the sharpening wheel in the corner. No need to clutter everything around the work station and hope it appears coherent.

Scale in Valheim in general is total lunacy. Has anyone of you ever noticed how enormously GIGANTIC the cooking station of a campfire is? Pure insanity! But when everything comes together it looks nice, which is ... nice.

It's a GAME for christ sake. Play it and have fun or don't. I think some things ain't right but I don't come on this forum and complain about them. I like the game for what it is.

I dig a pit, put the upgrades in it on shelves, then I put flooring on top, and just keep the primary forge at floor level. I do the same with the workbench too.

Its a GAME that has yet to be finished lol. If you like it for what it is, then that's great! If people making suggestions/complaints about things they wish to see improved bothers you, then maybe do no look at the forums lol.

I like this idea! I will try to use it as right now I like the busy workspace just the size references of certain things put me out of the loop.

I do like the look of that, I also do something somewhat familiar, I try to make it make sense as I also enjoy the busy workshop look as well, it just puts me out as I look at certain tools and think "that can't be right"
