Wood Charcoal is a lump of charred wood made by slow burning. It is the fuel of Blacksmithing and the kilns, and the most important fuel in the game's metalworking.

Almost every forge, furnace and kiln recipe burns charcoal. Forging a bar, a blade, a tool head or a piece of metal armour takes some. Smelting scrap and ore into steel or iron takes more. Firing clay into bricks, pots and molds also burns it. The Make Coke recipe turns it into Coke at a Dome Kiln.

Charcoal is made at a Charcoal Burning Barrel or Pile. Logs, branches or planks go in, and twelve lumps come out of each burn. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.

Uses


Blacksmithing is the main use. Simple work such as the Forge Bar, Cut Bar and Forge Scrap Into Chunk recipes burns a little charcoal at a primitive forge. Blades and tool heads take more. The Forge Sword Blade recipe burns eight charcoal at an Advanced Forge. Metal armour such as the Forge Metal Body Armor and Forge Coat of Plates Body Armor recipes also burns it at a forge.

Smelting uses it in the furnace. Recipes that melt iron and steel items into a ceramic crucible burn it. Ore smelting and casting bars and ingots burn it as well.

Kilns use it to fire clay. Bricks, clay pots, jars, plates, molds and crucibles are all fired with charcoal. The Make Coke recipe takes eight Wood Charcoal or Charcoal and gives four Coke at a Dome Kiln.

Charcoal also burns well in a plain fire. Each lump burns for about half an hour, far longer than twigs or splinters.

How to Get Wood Charcoal


The Burn Wood into Charcoal recipe takes two Log, or three Large Branch, or six Plank. It gives twelve Wood Charcoal. Three more recipes burn large, medium and small wood pieces in batches of nine, twelve and eighteen. Each of these also gives twelve lumps. All four work at a Charcoal Burning Barrel or Pile and need no skill. Wood Charcoal is not found as loot, so a burning barrel or pile is the way to a steady supply.

Notes


  • Two Log, three Large Branch or six Plank each make a full burn of twelve lumps.
  • Plain Charcoal works in place of Wood Charcoal in the Make Coke recipe.
  • A forge project of any size needs a large stockpile.
  • Lumps burn for about thirty minutes in a fire or stove.
