Forge is a block in 7 Days to Die. This build-tagged entry was seeded from the game's config data at build 3.1.0 b13; the stats and version log below reflect that build exactly.
Used to smelt metals to craft tools and weapons or stone to craft cement. Install tools to increase performance or unlock recipes. Can be used to warm up. Repair with Small Stone, Clay Soil, and Leather.
The Forge doesn't craft from your backpack the way a Workbench does — it works from an internal store of smelted material. Feed it raw items (Iron, Clay Soil, Small Stones, glass, brass, lead) and it smelts them into its material stock; forge recipes then draw on that stock. Forged Iron, for example, is forged from Iron ×10 and Clay ×5 out of the Forge's stock — base counts, before crafting-skill discounts. The Forge can also convert stored stock back into carryable items like Clay Soil and Iron when you want to empty one out before moving it; that reclaim option shows up in the same in-game list, but it's material recovery, not a crafting recipe, so the wiki doesn't list it as one.
