Obtaining

Bellows are crafted with Lumber and Leather. The lumber can be mixed and matched from any type of tree.

Usage

Grid Firepit.png Firepit Grid Forge.png Forge Grid Blast Furnace.png Blast Furnace

Bellows are used with Firepits, Forges and Blast Furnaces so that they will reach hotter temperatures and heat up at twice the speed in exchange for consuming fuel twice as fast. Because items heat up faster when the forge is hotter, using the Bellows will make items in the forge heat faster. This wasn't the case in TFC classic, where the bellows had no effect on the rate at which items heated up.

To activate the bellows, simply right click while targeting anywhere on the bellows. The block will animate and make a blowing sound while active. As long as the player is holding down right-click, the bellows will keep pumping.

Placement

When placed, the active side of the bellow (the side with a hole that blows air) faces away from the direction The Player is facing. In the case of a forge or a firepit the bellows must be placed so it blows over the top of the coals. Note: A crucible on top of the forge will not block the bellow's air. For a Blast Furnace, the bellows must be placed next to the Blast Furnace Block, and there must be a Tuyere inside the Blast Furnace for the bellows to work.

Max Temperature

Device Fuel Without Bellows With Bellows

Grid Coal.png Coal White Brilliant White

¹ Ebony is the hottest burning firepit fuel, while Sticks are the coldest. All other firepit fuels fit somewhere within this range.

² The Blast Furnace cannot get hot enough to smelt the ore inside without the use of a bellows.

Automation

Bellows can be automated through the use of Mechanisms. A turning crankshaft attached to the back of a bellow will automatically pump it. The speed at which the bellow is pumped depends on how fast the crankshaft is turning.
