Hello Blacksmith! It seems that the Merchant lost his memory and forgot that you’ve completed the copper mines tutorial.

Hello Blacksmith! We have heard your wishes, it is time for the SANDBOX UPDATE! This mode lets you dive straight into all the wonderful trinkets, tools, and materials the game offers! (So some spoilers will be present) We recommend you play the main game to understand the smithing progress and tools before jumping into the sandbox mode. Together with the new game mode, multiple save slots have been added! This allows you to have different saves, switch between save slots, see your current progression as well as delete saves to start a new game! Oh, and we have decorated the upstairs area, now

Hey there, Blacksmith! This Hotfix is resolving an issue where The Merchant stops giving the player new quest letters. This issue occurred if the game is closed right after The Merchant leaves the forge after completing the metal tutorial. If your current save is soft locked, you will need to ring the bell so The Merchant leaves and comes back again. “If stuck, no more stuck if update” - Devs If you still run into issues, please contact support@fasttravelgames.com and submit a full bug report to help us solve your issue, or join our Discord community.

Hey there, Blacksmith! This Hotfix follows up the multiple crashes on start-up after our Quality of life patch (ironic isn’t it 😅). We believe to have hunted down the cause of this issue together with the issue of the game crashing more or less consistently after a playtime of about 30 minutes. We are continuously working on preventing crashes. If you still run into issues with consistent crashes after updating, please contact support@fasttravelgames.com and submit a full bug report to help us solve your issue, or join our Discord community. That is all for now, see you at the forge ⚒️. Thank

Hello Blacksmith! For the third patch, our focus has been on cleaning up the forge a bit, it sure gets messy as one walks around and throws materials and trinkets on the ground! Subtitles settings have also been added, so you can move the text box to a preferred placement. Skipping dialogue has also made its way to the forge! One major issue we hammered down in this patch is players getting blocked from creating more metal ingots! This happens when the forge has too many pieces of metal lying around. We now have a “Clean forge” button available, wiping the entire forge from loose metal ingots,

Hello Blacksmith! For the second Patch, we have dived into the crash site and gotten loose from the grip of tutorials hindering us from progressing! This patch is focused on fixing the annoying and blocking bugs that multiple Smithers encountered. We got a deal with the Merchant to stop staring at us and giving the silent treatment during tutorials. We also bumped up the light so we can actually see our lovely (or hideous) creations more clearly and added some invisible beams to help the forge from crashing.
