v0.34.11 · v0.31.25 · v0.28.181.40d · v0.23.130.23a This article is about an older version of DF. More Info

The metalsmith skill is used to make furniture, buckets, bins, blocks, cages, and anvils at a metalsmith's forge. (Despite their being under the "furniture" menu of a forge, chains are made by metal crafters, and animal traps are made by trappers).

The labor that corresponds to the metalsmith skill is called blacksmithing. A dwarf whose highest skill is "metalsmith" will have the Blacksmith profession.

Bugs

• Many things a blacksmith makes should require more than one bar of metal, but only one bar is ever used per item produced. ^Bug:130
• Buildings which are built using material-dependent labors (e.g. a trade depot) may require "any metalsmithing skill," but will only raise Metalsmith and not the other qualifying skill (e.g. weaponsmithing). ^Bug:4899
