Advanced Smithing is a Vintage Story mod by OpPointBaker. Advanced Smithing adds more efficient smithing schematics, helping you waste fewer ingots while shaping metal.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who find vanilla smithing wasteful and are willing to perform more precise voxel work for better metal yield.
What Advanced Smithing adds
Advanced Smithing expands the available smithing options with additional schematics rather than replacing the original recipes. The main purpose is to let you arrange metal more carefully and recover more useful products from an ingot.
The improved efficiency comes with extra technical effort: the voxels must be moved into more demanding shapes before the item can be completed. Some recipes are especially worthwhile when working from a single ingot.
The nail option is a trade-off rather than a simple upgrade. It uses metal more economically than the standard two-ingot recipe and produces one additional strip, but requires considerably more smithing work.
