Forge Bellows

Forge bellows is a Forge upgrade that increases the forge’s level when placed within 2 meters of it. Like Grinding wheel, it is one of the two forge improvements that does not require any metal ingots and can be moved through a portal, making it especially convenient to set up early or relocate between bases.

To unlock Forge bellows, you need Wood, Deer Hide, and a Chain. A nearby Workbench is required to place it, and it is built with the Hammer from the crafting tab. As with other crafting stations and station upgrades, it must be placed in a sheltered area, under a roof, and close enough to the Forge to count as an enhancement.

Forge bellows is valuable because the Forge is the central station for producing stronger weapons, armor, and other equipment, and some structures also require a Forge nearby. Improving it expands your crafting progression without demanding expensive materials. Since this upgrade has no metal cost, it is a practical way to raise forge quality before you have a large supply of metal bars.

A few useful points:

• It only improves the Forge if it is placed close enough to it.
• It can be transported through Portals, unlike many metal-based upgrades.
• It requires a Workbench nearby at placement time.
• It uses Wood, Deer hide, and Chain, so it becomes available once those materials have been obtained.
• It is best installed indoors or in a covered workshop so it remains functional.

For players building a compact early base, Forge bellows is one of the easiest ways to support higher-tier crafting without expanding into a full metal-processing setup.
