The roadmap’s highlight is a siege workshop, where players can forge massive, castle-crushing siege engines like catapults. These complex projects demand multiple components and assembly stages, adding thrilling depth to the blacksmith’s trade. Building on its early access momentum, Blacksmith Master has already received four updates, with the “June Update” introducing larger furnaces and improved ingot storage.
