Forge, well, vertical slabs?

I had some ideas, but I didn't know if I could open three topics for them or just this one. So...

 

First: Google, select images, type: forge. Now in TFC if you use forge, you have to "lay" on the side, because a whole block is so wide. A vertical (cobble)stone slab should be enough. Even perfect. How do you make it without saw? Well, two stones vertically? Chiselled block would be good as well, but I think that's a bit more complicated. Based on the type of the original block which shouldn't be wood for example...

 

Well, if I'm talking about forge and it's need of air... Turn it upside down, and make it search for water for work? What did you get? A well! (here was a topic about this, but it's not in the list of suggestions)

 

With prospector's pick you can search for water (why not? It's an idea based on the game: Settlers). Dig down. When you reach the water, climb out. Make a circle around the hole by (cobble)stone. Put two (vertical) support beams on the cobblestones at the opposite sides. Take a (horizontal) support beam and craft it with 8 ropes. Put this rod between the two support beams, and Voilá! You've got a well. Click on it with a bucket, click on the rod, and the bucket is down. Click on it again and the bucket is up, filled with water. Shift click, you'll get the water.

Um, what? I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, or suggesting. If I do a google search for forge and select images.. I see images of stuff that vaguely look the forge that is already in game. And what do you mean about having to "lay" on the side to use a forge? Could you clarify please? This is horribly confusing.

Maybe I used wrong word? Lay, lie, like in bed. :D

 

Kitty: The forge block itself is too far away.

A human arm is about a half meter. The block between the forge and you is one meter. If I want to put a tool or weapon part in the forge with one meter wide side, in real life I had to lean on the block. Lay on it.Those forges on pictures has thin sides because you can reach the charcoal so. I'm playing like I'm in the game, and I "feel" that I can't reach the forge. It's uncomfortable. Not to mention it uses too many space.

 

Sometimes I write and spoke from my feelings and how did I came to a conclusion and that may be confusng. Sorry for that. :D

A solution to that would be to increase your FOV, so that 1 block directly in front of you doesn't look like such a long distance.. and to get the idea out of your head that 1 block always equals 1 meter.

As I know even the Minecraft itself count one block wide as 1 meter. I'm not at home, but I saw the statistics and there are so. Oh, and it's not about what I think. It's about how it looks like, how much space does it use for work.

How could that be resolved? Stone slabs or covers, or some rethink of the chiselled block so you can use it for forge. As a used to be coder (I'm now at IT, with little need of coding) I know it's not that easy, but in my perspective it's not so hard either.

or, you can put the forge in the ground, and step on the block that makes up the side of the forge
