Era Inaccuracy? Patio Forges

[Ronk]

It dawned on me...shouldn't large patios have a large forge on the patio? In T2A era all of these houses had a forge. In fact, I think it was the only way to get a forge before the forge crafting deeds.

To add to my memory of this is that I always had a forge up around Wrong on great lakes. And mine was 'messed up' by a GM where the forge was only 2-3 tiles instead of 3-4 tiles. So I had a 'small' large forge. The doors were also on backwards.

They originally did, but they do not during this era. And yes they had a shorter forge.

Well its not accurate at all to see so many forgeless forges

Is there patch note or something regarding this? I don't recall ever seeing a patio without the forge until free shards. But then again I played on Great lakes up to UO:R and never did the whole trammel thing so I was probably just not exposed to them.

Used to be called a Large Smithy, was renamed and the forge was removed with the introduction of house addons. Current UOSA mechanics are era accurate.

You are right but also wrong.

Large Smithy in fact came with a forge included when you placed it.
Large Patio, which replaced the Large Smithy did not.

Major difference and here is where we are not era accurate.

Large Smithy dimensions were 15x15
Large Patio dimensions were 14x14

Can you guess which dimensions we have on UOSA?
