Bronze Nails, Details and extensions

Updated for Steam update 1.011

Bronze Nails can be made from Bronze Scrap at the Wooden Anvil without a Furnace. Bronze Details belong to the later ingot-and-extension chain. Confusing the two recipes can delay the first workshop unnecessarily.

Bronze Nails can start at a Wooden Anvil before the ingot and Hardening Bucket chain needed for Bronze Details.

First nails

Bronze Works costs 5 red technology points and unlocks the Wooden Anvil. The early recipe turns 1 Bronze Scrap into 6 Bronze Nails and requires Smithing mastery 1. The starting Rusty Hammer can supply that early mastery.

Scavenged scrap from debris is therefore useful before renewable smelting is established. Nails build the woodworking stations that produce later quest and construction materials.

Then ingots and details

Bronze Melting opens the Furnace and Bronze Ingots. The firsthand walkthrough’s Furnace I costs 6 Pieces of Stone and 12 Bricks. Its tested smelting recipe uses 3 Bronze Scrap and 10 Fuel for 2 Bronze Ingots.

Bronze Craft adds Bronze Details and the Hardening Bucket extension. One Bronze Ingot produces 6 Bronze Details, but the Bucket must be within the Wooden Anvil’s extension range. Owning it elsewhere in the yard does not satisfy that local relationship.

Build the Firewood Shed that supplies the Furnace’s area and check its fuel stock. The Kitchen has its own area supply requirement; fuel stored for the home is not an unlimited global Furnace reserve.

Inspect the actual blocked condition

An unlocked recipe with the correct ingredients can still fail because the current mastery or extension is missing. Read the small requirement line in the station interface before collecting another stack of scrap.

After 1.011, misplaced objects can move in build mode. Check whether repositioning the Bucket or Anvil restores the extension before demolishing a complete setup.

These Details also serve early underground passages and Jack’s progression. Factory access distinguishes those material jobs from later reputation gates, while Iron crafting covers the next metal’s separate mastery stages.
