The Dome Kiln is a large stone kiln for burning wood into Wood Charcoal and turning charcoal into Coke. It is the biggest of the fuel stations used in Blacksmithing.

Charcoal is the fuel that almost every forge recipe burns. The kiln makes the same charcoal as the Charcoal Burner and the Charcoal Burning Pit. It adds one job of its own, Make Coke, which only this station runs. A smith usually starts with a burner or a pit and builds the Dome Kiln later, once stone and concrete are on hand. The kiln is built in the Blacksmithing build menu.

How to Build Dome Kiln

The Build Dome Kiln recipe takes forty Stone Block and some concrete. A Mason's Trowel is needed too, and it is kept after the build. The Stone Block are the heavy part of the job, so it helps to build close to where they are made or stored.

The build is stonework laid with a Mason's Trowel. It needs no Masonry level, and the recipe is known from the start.

Once built, the kiln has 200 health. Each level of the builder's skill adds 50 more. That makes it one of the sturdier stations in a base.

The Build Dome Kiln recipe is in the Blacksmithing build menu. It needs no skill level.

How to Use Dome Kiln

Working at the kiln opens its own crafting window. Wood goes in as the recipe input and comes out as twelve Wood Charcoal per burn. Two Logs are the simplest load. Three Large Branch or six Plank also work.

Loose wood works in bigger piles. The large, medium and small wood recipes take nine, twelve and eighteen pieces of the matching size.

Make Coke takes eight pieces of Wood Charcoal or Charcoal and gives four Coke. Plain Charcoal works as well as homemade Wood Charcoal.

Crafting Recipes

The four wood recipes are Burn Wood into Charcoal, Burn Large Wood into Charcoal, Burn Medium Wood into Charcoal and Burn Small Wood into Charcoal. They all make Wood Charcoal and ask for no skill.

Make Coke is the reason to build this kiln. It is the one recipe here that the smaller charcoal stations do not share. Every recipe here is known from the start.

Every recipe made at the Dome Kiln is listed with what it uses up, the tools it hands back and the skill it asks for. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned before it shows up.

Station Tiers

The Charcoal Burner and the Charcoal Burning Pit run only the four wood recipes. They are cheaper and quicker to set up. The Dome Kiln runs the same charcoal jobs and adds Make Coke. Build the kiln when Coke becomes part of a smith's plans, or when a sturdier fuel station is wanted for a long-term base.

The Dome Kiln shares its recipes with the stations below. A higher station runs everything a lower one runs.
