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 (general)|house]].* The last [[log]] added determines the wood type of the pile.

 * After finishedfinishing the pile, light the pile it with your [[steel and flint]], with a while carrying [[kindling in your inventory]]. The * Once lit, the pile will slowly damage and create 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, accumulating the products over timeuntil it reaches 100 damage. The higher * When the qualitypile reaches 100 damage, it disappears and all remaining products form an item pile on the longer the pile will burnground. * The pile products can be removed at any time without harm to further production. Damage on charcoal Higher quality piles no produce higher quality items and burn longer reduces the quality of the , producing more items created as of 06 March 2014.* 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 [[charcoal]], [[ash]], and [[tar ]] is produced at each decay tick.

** Cedarwood piles burn slower due to their decay tick mechanic, but produce the same amount as a non -special wood typetypes.** Oakenwood piles produce more charcoal as materials because they take less decay per tick and thus therefore have more ticks.** Walnut Piles piles give a 10% bonus on to the quality of the items it producesthey produce.** Other wood types appear to have no effect on burn time or charcoal production.* The last log added determines the wood type of the pileMaking 20 piles from discovery without sleep bonus will give around 24 coal-making skill. So you could add 20 pine logs* Per testing, but have decay of items produced by the final one added be an oak log, and you would get an oak charcoal pile.* Ash decays fast, even will start in approximately 2 to 3 days if left inside the active, producing pile as it burns.* Making 31 piles from discovery without sleep bonus will net around 24 CoalRemoving produced items and placing them back inside may remove this decay-making Skillfree period.* It is possible to get create a [[Rare item|rarity drumroll]] while continuing a [[rare charcoal pile.* A rare charcoal pile]] which will burn slightly longer and can randomly produce a random number of rare [[charcoal]], rare [[ash]] , and rare [[tar]].* All charcoal piles fully occupy one tile.* Despite wood type, all charcoal piles visually appear the same.
