Description
A large kiln-like structure made from logs covered in dirt. The purpose is to turn the logs into tar and charcoal.
Charcoal pile is a large structure made from logs and dirt and lit up with a kindling. When it burns, it slowly creates charcoal, tar and ash. They are mainly used to create charcoal in order to make steel lumps.
Creating
- The quality of the kindling affects the chance of creating a charcoal pile.
- The log and dirt affect the rate of increase in quality of the pile when building, according to your coal-making skill. The quality level is not limited by skill, it is limited by the quality of the components added. A quality 20 pile will yield approximately 14 tar, charcoal and ash.
- It uses 1 Kindling and 1 Log to create. Using combined kindling will use the entire combined amount.
- Pile cannot be created or continued inside a house.
Usage
After finished, light the pile with your steel and flint, with a kindling in your inventory. The pile will slowly damage and create charcoal, tar and ash. A pile will burn for one to two real life days, accumulating the products over time. The higher the quality, the longer the pile will burn. The pile products can be removed at any time without harm to further production.
Light as soon as possible. Unlit piles will soon start to take "invisible" damage till lit, which is when the damage becomes apparent.
Notes
- Cedarwood piles burn slower. Oakenwood piles burn slower and produce more charcoal. Walnut Piles give a 10% bonus on the quality of the items it produces. Other wood types appear to have no effect on burn time or charcoal production.
- The last log added determines the wood type of the pile. So you could add 20 pine logs, but have the final one added be an oak log, and you would get an oak charcoal pile.
- Ash decays fast, even inside the pile as it burns.
- Making 31 piles from discovery without sleep bonus will net around 24 Coal-making Skill.
- It is possible to get a rarity drumroll while continuing a charcoal pile which will produce a random number of rare charcoal, ash and tar.
