Anvil

WorldObject

A solid shaped piece of metal used to hammer ingots into tools and other useful things.

Notes

The Anvil is a placed crafting station used to hammer ingots into tools, utensils, pipes, and other metal items. It requires a room with at least Tier 2 materials and 18 m³ of free volume, and accepts Basic, Blacksmith, and Smelting Basic upgrade modules to reduce resource and labor costs. Placing it in a high-quality room and using relevant upgrades is key to efficient metalworking.
