Devblog 3: Blacksmithing from ore to a finished blade
The April 28, 2023 announcement describes blacksmithing as a chain of work rather than a single crafting action. Ore is smelted at a 
Furnace, ingots are heated at a 
Forge, blades are shaped at an 
Anvil, and a 
Quenching Station cools them.
Arrange the stages before scaling production
Heating and quenching influence blade quality in the described system. Workshop development is intended to make larger-scale equipment production practical over time. The announcement also expands shared house occupancy and explains the server work behind a larger connected world. Both are historical steps in systems that later posts continue to revise.
