How to Craft Forged Iron in 7 Days to Die

Forged iron is a valuable crafting material in 7 Days to Die that you’ll need for advanced recipes and equipment upgrades. This guide walks you through the simple process of crafting forged iron using a forge, so you can start producing it right away.

Materials You’ll Need

Before you begin crafting forged iron, gather the following materials:

• A Forge — The primary crafting station for this recipe
• Scrap Iron — The main ingredient for forged iron
• Clay — An essential component; easily found by digging into the ground

Step-by-Step Crafting Process

Step 1: Gather Clay

Clay is abundant and can be collected almost anywhere by digging into the base ground. When you dig, you’ll receive clay in stacks. For example, a quick dig session can yield 31-33 clay or more depending on how long you dig.

Step 2: Access Your Forge

Once you have your materials ready, walk up to your forge and press the interact key (default is E on PC) to open the forge menu.

Step 3: Add Clay to the Stockpile

In the forge interface, add your clay to the stockpile. The forge will automatically accumulate and store the clay you add, making it available for the crafting process.

Step 4: Start Crafting Forged Iron

Once clay is added to the stockpile, you can now begin crafting forged iron. The forge will process your materials and produce forged iron as output.

Step 5: Collect Your Forged Iron

When the forged iron is finished crafting, it will appear in the forge’s output slot. Simply grab it from the output and use it however you want for your builds, tools, and weapons.

Summary

Crafting forged iron in 7 Days to Die is straightforward once you have access to a forge. Simply gather scrap iron and clay, add the clay to your forge’s stockpile, and start the crafting process. In no time, you’ll have forged iron ready to use for all your crafting needs. Happy crafting!
