What opens after Molly’s task?

Completing a task for Molly grants Workshop access. Its Forge can craft equipment, upgrade tools and combine older equipment pieces into new ones.

When does Molly provide the Furnace?

The item reference says Molly gives a Furnace and unlocks its blueprint after her Helping Molly tasks and getting back into the Workshop. A developer patch note records the sequence change: she gives the Furnace when the Forge is unlocked, rather than Hans giving it during his second task.

Find Molly and start Helping Molly

Molly’s home is the Workshop on the path leading to the farm. In Helping Molly, she asks you to mine and bring her one Copper Ore; the task points to the nearby mine and says to use the Rusty Pickaxe she gave you. Look for rocks with orange bumps, mine one, then return to Molly.
