Workshops

The saw pit, the forge and the well, and what you make at them.

Saw pit#

Planks are what you need for anything fitted: doors, window walls, water gates, rowboats and wagons. Bring logs, tap the saw pit, and saw away.

Forge#

Costs3 logs, 12 stone, 3 clay, 1 hide
Smelt1 iron ore + 1 coal = 1 bar
SkillSmithing

The forge turns iron ore into iron bars, and bars into fittings, tools, lanterns and more. There's a whole page on it: the forge and smelting.

A workshop of your own#

A forge and a cookstove can both go indoors, on the ground floor of anything you build and right up against the walls. So you can put up a proper smithy, or a kitchen, instead of working out in the weather. Lay the floor first and then set them on it, since a floor won't go down over the top of them. Neither can go upstairs.

Everything else that stands in the yard, the saw pit and the well among them, still needs open ground. Put those just outside the door.

Well#

Costs3 logs, 8 stone, 2 clay, 1 iron fittings
NeedsDigging 5
GivesWater, anywhere

A well lets you drink and fill your canteens wherever you dig it, so you don't have to live by the water.
