Blacksmith (Legacy Build 40)

Description
THIS VERSION IS FOR BUILD 40, FOR BUILD 41+ USE THIS: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1997530421

This is TIS' original but discontinued code for melting metal items and using that metal to create new items. Not everything is as they had planned, for example there are no new skills involved, Metalworking covers all aspects of it. Currently furnaces do not work in multiplayer, sorry, I'm working on that.
I have updates planned and ideas I may include, I'd like to know what your ideas are and your feedback about the whole thing.

----------BASIC GUIDE----------

Smithing menu: Right now the right-click smithing menu is tied to having a Metal Drum in your inventory. You can get one by finding a drum/barrel, right-click on it and use "Take Barrel".

Forge: To build a forge you need 10 stones (exact number may be changed later for balance). To work with a forge you need charcoal for fuel, bellows to increase heat, tongs to handle the metal. Use it like you would use an oven with food, items will turn into workable iron.

Anvil: To build an anvil you need a log, a hammer and enough workable iron from the forge. (5 full bars) Currently the quantity of iron isn't shown in the build menu, but the option should turn from red to white.

Forging items: To actually forge an item you need to learn recipes from magazines. You need to be close to an anvil and you need a standard hammer, or a ballpeen hammer. Different items have different Metalworking level requirements. Some items like the axe need a wood handle that can be made from a plank.

Metal Drum/Barrel: It can be used for holding rain water and for turning logs into charcoal. Right-click a drum/barrel in the map and use "Take Barrel".

I have found that you can build it when you only have 20 stones instead of 50

This version here is for build 40, but there is a separate version for IWBUMS.

Hi! Amazing mod! I was looking for exactly this when I found out about metalworking.

Does it work in IWBUMS latest patch?

Thanks for this, it's always baffled me why in build 40 they left in the bullet molds when you could even make them because there wasn't anyway of getting workable iron. And now with this mod you can, Yea.. i'm worried what happens when you run of out of metal unless they re-spawn.

gotcha. Thanks for the awesome work and quick replies !

The mod does not touch the metalworking walls or anything else from that menu.

All of them that require the can opener. I'd also go through and make sure all the metalworking craftables work because I am pretty sure I couldn't build a metal wall frame even when I had all the requisite items and tools in my inventory.
