[0.98.13] this might be a smithing bug

[theedgar]

my character's smithing level is around the 40s , and I have researched up until Catun. no 2, Despite that my character keeps making refitted blade type weapons. I'm not sure if this is normal given my character's smithing ability (also using a level 3 crafting facility).
Also my character keeps putting his own weapon in the cabinet when storing the weapons he forges. He has a plank and a katana and every time he finishes making a weapon he puts the plank and the crafted weapon in the cabinets but he keeps his katana. this did not happen in previous versions so i decided to mention it

Make sure you're choosing the right quality at the forge. Some lower qualities are still available for crafting even when higher ones are researched.

Also see what does the forge itself says when forging. There should be something about the expected quality level the current smith can achieve.

Also check if the smith's working place is well lit. Darkness affects skills in a most unpleasant way.

Your smith will automatically store whatever weapon is in the primary slot while crafting since he will retrieve any crafted weapon in that spot to store. This does not apply to crafting weapons that fit in the secondary slot like katanas, only wider weapons that must fit in the primary slot. If you have a secondary weapon and craft more, it will store the new one in storage.

Makes sense, actually, since many primary weapons doesn't fit anywhere else, and they have to make sure they've got space. Although they could just leave the crafted weapon in the forge.
