How to get tools at Manor Lords
Here are the basic steps to get tools in Manor Lords:
- Build a mining pit
- Building a bloom
- Build a forge
To get tools in Manor Lords, you must first build a mining pit over an iron deposit. You can do this from the start of the game, provided you have an iron depot in your starting region.
If you don’t have an iron deposit in your area, your best bet is to follow our guide on how to trade so you can import tools (or iron ore) until you can expand and take control of another region.
Once you have iron ore, you need to build a bloomery. This will turn your iron ore into iron slabs. Make sure it’s occupied by one of your families and that you have enough firewood to keep it running, and before long you’ll have a constant supply of iron slabs.
To turn iron slabs into tools, you then need to build a forge. It works exactly the same way: assign a family to work there and as long as you have enough fuel each month, the iron slabs will be turned into tools. You can then keep these tools in stock for use when constructing buildings, or you can export them for money through your trading post.
