A '''Charcoal charcoal pile''' is a large [[coal-making]] structure made from [[log]]s and [[pile of dirt|dirt]] and lit up with a [[kindling]]. When it burnslit, it slowly creates produces [[charcoal]], [[tar]] , and [[ash]]. They are mainly used to create charcoal in order to make [[steel lump]]s.

== Creating Creation == * The [[quality]] of the [[kindling ]] affects the chance of creating a charcoal pile.* The log and dirt affect maximum quality of a charcoal pile is limited by the rate of increase in average quality of the pile when building, according to your raw materials.* The [[coal-making]] skill. The quality level is not limited by skill, it is limited by affects how much each added ingredient contributes to the pile's quality of the components added. * A quality 20 charcoal pile will yield approximately 14 tar, charcoal and ash.* It uses 1 Kindling [[kindling]] and 1 Log [[log]] to create. Using combined kindling will use the entire combined amount.* Pile Charcoal piles cannot be created or continued inside a [[house]].* The last [[log]] added determines the wood type of the pile.

* After finishing the pile, light it with [[steel and flint]] while carrying [[kindling]].* Once lit, the pile produces [[charcoal]], [[tar]], and [[ash]] based on the initial quality of the pile.* Production occurs whenever a decay tick increases the pile's damage.* Produced materials can be removed at any time without harming further production.* A charcoal pile will burn for one to six real-life days until it reaches 100 damage.* When the pile reaches 100 damage, it disappears and all remaining products form an item pile on the ground.* Higher quality piles produce higher quality items and burn longer, producing more items.* Light charcoal piles as soon as possible. Unlit piles will soon quickly start to take "invisible" damage till until lit, at which is when point the damage becomes apparentvisible.* Products are produced with the effective quality of the pile at the time of lighting. Battlepants' test for the approximation of pile quality and number of produce: * 29.75 QL birch pile produced 17 charcoals.* 56.58 QL birch pile produced 30 charcoals.* 46.01 QL walnut pile produced 25 charcoals.

* A single [[Categorycharcoal]], [[ash]], and [[tar]] is produced at each decay tick.* Wood type affects production:Structures** Cedarwood piles burn slower due to their decay tick mechanic, but produce the same amount as non-special wood types.** Oakenwood piles produce more materials because they take less decay per tick and therefore have more ticks.** Walnut piles give a 10% bonus to the quality of the items they produce.** Other wood types have no effect on burn time or charcoal production.* Making 20 piles from discovery without sleep bonus will give around 24 coal-making skill.* Per testing, decay of items produced by the charcoal pile will start in approximately 2 to 3 days if left inside the active, producing pile.* Removing produced items and placing them back inside may remove this decay-free period.* It is possible to create a rare charcoal pile.* A rare charcoal pile will burn slightly longer and can randomly produce rare [[charcoal]], rare [[ash]], and rare [[tar]].* All charcoal piles fully occupy one tile.* Despite wood type, all charcoal piles visually appear the same.
