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, wood pieces, props and resources! (button is found on the backside of the furnace)
Multiple smithers have asked for a trash can to dump unwanted creations and materials. Let us introduce the incinerator! Simply open the hatch and dump whatever you’d like and pull the lever. Your resources will return to their containers!
If you happen to run into any issues after installing this latest patch, please contact [email protected] and submit a full bug report to help us solve your issue. Thank you for playing BlackForge: A Smithing Adventure!

- Text box saying “Hello Blacksmith” might appear during splash screen
- When using the “clean forge” button, completed quests or retries quests on the questboard will appear inside the questboard, note that they are STILL there so you can grab them. Restarting the game will make them spawn as intended on the board.
- Resources used to barter with might reappear in the backyard after exiting the game
- Haptics might not work properly
- Barter sign is still NOT smackable :(
- Wood resources do not visually update accordingly when emptying the barter bag - pulling the lever updates the visual to show actual amount.
