String not found - Blacksmithing or low water
 

This is my first bug report, so please forgive any noob mistakes.

I was making Metal Bits at the forge in RV and kept getting "ERROR: String not found. (8053)" messages in chat. They appeared after these messages:

- You lacked the skills to fashion the items together.
- You have gotten netter at Blacksmithing! (20)
- You can no longer advance your skill from making this item.

Misc points:
- I had put 10 points into blacksmithing before I began.
- The message did not appear after 2 backsmithing combines.

Alternative explaination: Maybe the issue is with being low on water.
- The message appeared several times without an associated combine, so perhaps its not related to blacksmithing.
- I had 3 of the starting Bread Cakes* and 2 Skin of Milk. I was getting "You are low on food." messages but no messages about water.

If you search the error message you will see a large consolidated thread about this, known issue that will be fixed next patch per nilbog.

Moving to resolved.
