Tools


Hammers are tools used to work ingots on an anvil when smithing . They are also used for chiseling , crushing ore, and for numerous recipes in the crafting grid.

Creation

The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:

  • Casting (100 units): Copper and Bronze alloy
  • Smithing (1 ingot): Steel, Iron, Bronze alloy, copper (silver and gold)
  • Assembly:

Usage

The hammer is the primary tool used in the crafting method smithing . Pressing the Left Mouse button "hits" the metal item on an anvil and changes the shape and location of voxels in the metal ingot based on the selected tool mode.

Smithing Hammer Modes

Press 'F' with a hammer in the active hand to view and change tool modes.

  • Heavy Hit
When used on the bottom layer: No effect.
When used on the upper layers: If near the edge, it will move voxels the the lower layer, i.e. flatten the work item. Otherwise it will spread apart the voxels.
  • Upset (Up, Left, Down, Right)
When used on the bottom layer: Move voxels to the upper layer, only possible at the edges of a work item.
When used on upper layers: Move voxels horizontally or down by a layer if its at the edge.
  • Split
Irrevocably removes one voxel.

Harvesting

Hammers are not used to harvest materials, but are used to crush chunks of stone containing ores (mined with a pickaxe ) and obtain smeltable nuggets.

Combat

Attacking a mob (melee combat): place the tool in an active hotbar slot and press or hold left mouse button to strike the target.

Selling

You can sell the hammers you craft to Building Materials Traders . They purchase sometimes:

  • Tin-bronze hammer: for an average price of 4 rusty gears .
  • Bismuth-bronze hammer: for an average price of 5 rusty gears .
  • Black bronze hammer: for an average price of 6 rusty gears .

Chiseling blocks

Place the hammer in the left hand and the chisel in the right hand. See the Chisel page for more informations.

Crafting

Place the hammer in the crafting grid slot above the item to be crushed. When using the hammer and chisel , generally the hammer is placed above the chisel, and the material to be processed is placed below the chisel. Removing the (product) from the output slot of the grid uses the tool(s). When complete, remove the tool from the grid, or close the interface by pressing 'E' to replace the tool into an available space in the inventory or hotbar. (If a slot is not available, pressing 'E' will discard the item(s) on the ground.)

  • The hammer is used to
    • Crush limestone into lime.
    • Crush chunks of rock containing ore to obtain metal nuggets.
  • The hammer + chisel is used to craft:
    • polished rock, polished slabs and stone bricks. See the stone block page for more information.
  • The hammer + chisel + saw is used to craft:
    • Gears, axles and rotors in the crafting grid. See the mechanical power page for more information.

Storage

Hammers can be placed against a wall, stored in containers and placed on tool racks .
