Anvil
Overview
Used for creating various hammered metal products.
Source
This building becomes available to be built after the Advanced Blacksmithing technology is learned at a University of Art & Music. (But an anvil can be operated with only the Blacksmithing tech).
Cost
- 1 Anvil Bed
- 120 Firebricks
- 4 Water in Jugs
Built in a Compound. Uses 7x13 cells.
Use
An anvil is used to create various metal tools by shaping a block of metal into a specific pattern. Using an anvil requires the Blacksmithing tech.
This uses various smithing tools, each with a different pattern in pushing metal:
The finished products are assigned a quality based on how close they are to the goal. The higher the quality, the more effective the tool, with 9999 being perfect. An anvil can produce the following:
- Shovel - 10 metal; 4 wood to complete; require 6000+ to be effective
- Carpentry Blade - 1 metal; requires quality 3000+ to be used
- Hatchet - 20 metal
- Resin Wedge - 7 metal
- Sharp Edged Knife Blade - 10 metal
- Spring - 1 metal
from any of the following metals, with stronger metals allowing more hits before the piece becomes too fragile to work.
- Copper - 160 hit limit
- Iron - 180 hit limit
- Brass - 200 hit limit
- Bronze - 210 hit limit
- Steel - 220 hit limit
- Sun Steel - 240 hit limit
- Moon Steel - 250 hit limit
- Thoth's Metal - 260 hit limit
- Water Metal - 250? hit limit
- Metal Blue - 280 hit limit
- Octec's Alloy - 320 hit limit
