Overview

Overview

Franz and the Tarforge Guide page with player-facing notes, official in-game terms, related pages, and current public build context.

Franz is tied to the Tarforge upgrade loop. Bring Tarforge parts and upgrade materials back to him when you want to unlock or expand weapon upgrading.

What to do next

Bring Tarforge parts to Franz.

Feed or activate the Tarforge when materials are available.

Return after major route milestones to check new upgrade options.

Treat Franz As Your Upgrade Anchor

Whenever you find an unusual machine part, upgrade material, or Tarforge item, return to Franz before spending resources elsewhere.

Check The Tarforge Menu

Tarforge progress is not just an item pickup; it affects what you can smelt or upgrade. Reopen the upgrade menu after turning in key materials.

Plan Weapons Before Spending

Use the equipment database before committing rare materials. Weapon roles differ sharply, and early resources are better saved for a weapon you actually use.
