Project Zomboid Advanced Forging Guide (Build 42): Complete Tutorial
This tutorial details how to create and improve the advanced forge in Project Zomboid (Build 42), including the necessary items, how to obtain clay, and how to level up forging without magazines. The video covers everything from collecting basic materials to creating complex items like the blacksmith's anvil and the crucible.
1. 🧱 Essential Materials for Advanced Forging: Collection and Preparation
- ✅ To start advanced forging, you will need: trowel, stone block, bucket with cement and clay, blacksmith's anvil, wooden bucket, log, and large leaf.
- ✅ Stone blocks are made using a hammer and chisel on stones found on the map.
- ✅ Clay is found near rivers, especially after rain. Use a sack to collect the clay visible on the ground.
2. 💧 Obtaining Clay and Sand: Location and Collection Techniques
- ✅ For the bucket of cement and clay, you need a bucket with water, clay, and a bag of sand.
- ✅ Clay is found near rivers after rain, identified by the light brown color on the ground.
- ✅ Use a sack to collect the clay.
- ✅ Sand can be collected in parking lots and parks using a sack.
3. 🔨 Preparing the Wooden Bucket and Blacksmith's Anvil: Items and Methods
- ✅ The wooden bucket requires a hammer, saw, plank, nails, wire, small handle, and a small iron bracelet.
- ✅ The large bellows is necessary for the advanced furnace, so consider making two.
- ✅ The blacksmith's anvil is the most difficult item to obtain, usually requiring an advanced furnace to be made.
4. 🔥 Creating the Anvil: Advanced Furnace, Coke, and Crucible
- ✅ To create the anvil, you need an advanced furnace, blacksmith's tongs, anvil mold, coke, and a crucible with iron.
- ✅ The anvil mold is made with a hammer, saw, plank, and nail.
- ✅ Coke is made from charcoal, which is obtained by cutting down trees to obtain logs.
5. ⚱️ Crucible: Preparation and Firing in the Wood-Burning Oven
- ✅ For the crucible, the Small Ceramic (small crucible) is recommended.
- ✅ It is necessary to create the potter's wheel and the wood-burning oven.
- ✅ The stone wheel requires large stones and can be made near a table with a hammer or chisel.
- ✅ After creation, the crucible appears in the inventory as uncooked and must be fired in the wood-burning oven.
6. ⚙️ Using the Advanced Furnace: Melting Iron Items
- ✅ In the advanced furnace, use crucibles that result in "smelt ceramic crucible with" to melt iron items.
- ✅ Various items can be melted to obtain iron, such as knives, kettles, and can openers.
7. 🛠️ Improving the Forge: Techniques and Tips to Level Up Without Magazines
- ✅ With the advanced forge ready, it is possible to create armor, swords, and tools.
- ✅ To level up forging without magazines, start by forging items that do not require a level or recipe, such as copper sheets and iron bars.
- ✅ A tip is to make small knives, sharpen them, and when they wear out, melt them down to make others, creating an infinite improvement cycle.
