Iron tools will give you again a significant boost in strength and durability. | |||
* Make sure you have a bronze anvil, as you won't be able to smith iron tools on a copper anvil. | |||
* You will need to gather fire clay, make fire bricks, burn the firebricks in a fire pit and then build a bloomery base and chimney | |||

* Place the base anywhere and the chimney on top | |||
* Sneak + Right click the base to add fuel and ore. It won't accept fuel whose burning temperature is too low. Bloomeries can smelt any ore actually, at a higher temperature than the fire pit, but cost significant quantities of fuel. It is currently the only method to smelt iron ore and quartz. | |||
* Sneak + Right click the base with a torch in hands to ignite the bloomery. Once the bloomery stopped smoking you have to break it to pieces in order to get to iron bloom | |||
Iron bloom has to be worked on the anvil to get iron ingots. This is a rather tedious process so its recommended to eventually mechanize this task with the helve hammer | |||
==Mechanization== | |||
* Iron bloom and metal plate working can be automated with the helve hammer | |||
* Grinding of grains and other materials can be automated with the quern | |||
