UTC-10 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Watched Blue Eye Samurai episode 1 and didn't know that by hammering the end of a steel tool that part can become hot enough to light incense or tinder. Seems like kind of common enough knowledge among people who work metal but I certainly didn't know that. Heavy hammer and a piece of steel (probably, for game purposes, forged piece of steel or maybe the improvised knife/hatchet and with a condition cost for the tool) and tinder. Not a quick method but maybe just the thing to justify toting that heavy hammer around for more than forging or breaking up planks, pallets, furniture, and crates. Tinder should be a requirement (an alternative fire starting that negates the "no tinder required" benefit, if one wanted to use it). More involved that flint and steel or a fire stick in terms of implementation but a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuegemann Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 In medieval times this was the proper way to light a forge. Would be a cool addition to the game. Mabe using a piece of scrap metal during the process would be a good tradeoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
