Blacksmiths

Blacksmiths turn steel and coal into goods. You will use them mostly early on in the game. They also use jobs, of course.

Before you have steel works, you must rely on the steel produced by communes. 5 or 6 communes per blacksmith is recommended.

Blacksmiths do not have to be connected to transport. They can get all they need from markets that are within range.

You can see when a blacksmith is working in the usual way, by clicking on it, and every so often the animation will come to life.
