Overview

Used for creating various hammered metal products.

Source

This building becomes available to be built after the Advanced Blacksmithing technology is learned at a University of Art & Music. (But an anvil can be operated with only the Blacksmithing tech).

Cost

• 1 Anvil Bed
• 120 Firebricks
• 4 Water in Jugs

Built in a Compound. Uses 7x13 cells.

Tip: Build your anvil facing east to west instead of north to south because it will be much easier to work materials on the anvil using cartographer's camera from the camera options menu. The front of the anvil needs to face south. If it is facing the wrong direction, make sure you have salvage techniques and then tear it down and rebuild the anvil till you get it right.

Use

An anvil is used to create various metal tools by shaping a block of metal into a specific pattern. Using an anvil requires the Blacksmithing tech.

This uses various smithing tools, each with a different pattern in pushing metal:

• Ball Peen Hammer
• Round Hammer
• Shaping Mallet
• Wide Tungsten Chisel

The finished products are assigned a quality based on how close they are to the goal. The higher the quality, the more effective the tool, with 9999 being perfect. An anvil can produce the following:

• Shovel - 10 metal; 4 wood to complete; require 6000+ to be effective
• Carpentry Blade - 1 metal; requires quality 3000+ to be used
• Hatchet - 20 metal
• Resin Wedge - 7 metal
• Sharp Edged Knife Blade - 10 metal
• Spring - 1 metal

from any of the following metals, with stronger metals allowing more hits before the piece becomes too fragile to work.

• Copper - 160 hit limit
• Iron - 180 hit limit
• Brass - 200 hit limit
• Bronze - 210 hit limit
• Steel - 220 hit limit
• Sun Steel - 240 hit limit
• Moon Steel - 250 hit limit
• Thoth's Metal - 260 hit limit
• Water Metal - 250 hit limit
• Metal Blue - 280 hit limit
• Octec's Alloy - 320 hit limit
