Sky access for bloomery and forge

[jammasterz 7]

Hello. I'm designing my smithing room and there is a few things i need to know.

I read on the wiki that the forge can have "curved" sky access which prevents the rain from putting it out.

My questions are:

 

1. Is this also the case for the bloomery and the blast furnance? Can they have curved access to sky as well?

 

2. If not, what happens when it rains on my bloomery/blast furnance?

 

3. If something happens, are there any countermeasures?

2. If not, what happens when it rains on my bloomery/blast furnance? They'll both be fine.

 

3. If something happens, are there any countermeasures? N/A

Neither the bloomery nor the blast furnace require sky access.

Well, obviously you must have a place to access it

Right, but I mean, you can build them in your basement or something, they don't actually need to be open to the sky like the forge.

I really need to stop assuming things ... *trashes super chimney idea* lol

 

J/K for my own realistic idea i did place and connect the 2 together, incase my world survives updates and the system changes at somepoint, Sealed it of with trap doors since im underground. Gives quite the comfi feeling having it all so close to eachother

I usually add a forge under the crucible on the blast furnace. If for any reason the metal cools down I can easily reheat it.

This is one of those, "why didn't I think of that?" kind of things.  Very nice.

I can only imagine, how many other things, more experiment players know and I have not figure it out.
