Blacksmith

Blacksmith is a core crafting building used to forge equipment and key industrial parts. It lets the Leader create new weapons, armor, and accessories when the required materials and tools are available, making it one of the main ways to change combat performance and tailor Ratizen effects through equipped accessories. Some equipment cannot be forged until specific conditions are met, and some items are only obtainable as dungeon rewards.

The building can also be used to reforge equipment once for an extra effect. If a second reroll is needed, that process is handled through the Infernal Forge instead. Because of this, Blacksmith serves as the standard forge for both progression gear and repeated equipment optimization.

Its production list includes several important outputs:

• 3 Dumbbells from 1 Copper Ingot, 1 Tool, and 1 Wooden Stick in 900 work
• 3 Dumbbells from 1 Iron Ingot, 1 Tool, and 1 Wooden Stick in 900 work
• 3 Gold Accessory from 1 Gold Ingot, 3 Coral, and 1 Tool in 1800 work
• 3 Gold Accessory from 1 Gold Ingot and 3 Jewel in 1100 work
• 8 Copper Wire from 1 Copper Ingot and 2 Rubber in 900 work
• 8 Copper Wire from 1 Copper Ingot and 2 Beeswax in 900 work
• 4 Iron Plate from 1 Iron Ingot and 1 Tool in 900 work

With the introduction of Electricity, Blacksmith became a particularly important facility. Copper Wire and Iron Plate are demanded in large quantities, so players pursuing a science victory can benefit from building around four Blacksmiths to keep up with supply. If production runs ahead of immediate needs, the building can be kept busy making Dumbbells so the workforce is not idle.
