A Blacksmith Thrall supports Blacksmith’s Bench work and can affect available station recipes or crafting effort.
A Blacksmith’s Bench at your base, with a converted Blacksmith assigned.
A Blacksmith is a station specialist, so the useful target is an NPC whose current profession is Blacksmith. Capture and convert that worker, then assign it to a Blacksmith’s Bench before crafting. Thrall tier and specialization can change the benefits, and exact recipe lists may vary with the game version. Confirm the station’s live interface after assignment instead of relying on assumed costs or bonuses.
Recruitment and assignment are setup tasks, not a repeatable material farm. Bench crafting can be repeated while you have ingredients and suitable recipes.
Stop recruiting once your Bench has a Blacksmith that meets your needs; switch to another station specialist if your remaining bottleneck is elsewhere.
