Blacksmithing

Recommended Posts

Just that, i know its not that common to find blacksmithing tools anymore, most are industries that make in large quantity the knives and all that uses some type of blade. But i know that this is not supposed to be a big thing, just a small thing if you want to do it. All players who want to go in a more melee style in the future would be glad to have an option like this. It could be a special way to craft melee weapons that could be more durable that hand crafted melee but less than the industry quality hunting knives, and more damage than blunt weapons but a little less than sharp blades.

Firearms should be the biggest part of the game, but as we all know some people have been wanting melee weapons to be more important, not as important as the dinner bell is to bambies, but perhaps as a winchester used to be.

Now the more important thing could be arranging the items to forge something, that i have no clue. But thanks to wikipedia that might not be so hard to do:

"While developed nations saw a decline and re-awakening of interest in blacksmithing, in many developing nations blacksmiths continued doing what blacksmiths have been doing for 3500 years: making and repairing iron and steel tools and hardware for people in their local area."

I would love to wear a 50 kg iron full plate armor with a 5 kg claymore.

You have my beans.

hahaha lol, that prolly wont stop bullets. But i dont mean transforming this game into skyrim, but just adding the possibily of making machetes, little stabby pointy things, these big swords could be made but they are not the better aproach to the zombie apocalypse, remember that melee mas not be the focus of the game, but the fiearms must

I thought welding and sharpening would be a better option than blacksmithing, especially during apocalypse. You know, a metal pipe, wrap/tape + a sheet of steel= homemade machete. Of course, toolbox is required as well to cut the thick metal sheets and pipes.

The Colony, Season 2.

First thing I`m going to do is make those sword machete things.

None of it seemed to unfeasible for an idiot like me, and it seemed pretty simple of an idea.
