Fuel for ore smelting. Made in a charcoal kiln from wood.1212Charcoal has two jobs. As a smelting fuel it converts ore into bars at a Smelting Furnace, feeding ingot recipes such as Copper Ingot and Foothills Iron Ingot. It is also the source of Ash, which in turn feeds the gunpowder chain, so a powder-focused crew burns through charcoal as fast as a smith does.1313How to Obtain1515Charcoal is made by burning timber in a Charcoal Kiln. The kiln accepts either plain Wood or denser Hardwood, and the recipe variants below differ only in burn time. Once the kiln and the Ingot and Charcoal Production discovery are unlocked, charcoal becomes a steady background craft you keep running while you gather.1717Crafting Recipes1919IngredientQuantityHardwoodx1Duration45s2121Recipe Variant 22222IngredientQuantityHardwoodx1Duration15s2424Recipe Variant 32525IngredientQuantityWoodx1Duration30s2727Recipe Variant 42828IngredientQuantityWoodx1Duration10s3030Fuel Efficiency3131Each kiln charge yields one Charcoal.
