Charcoal is used as fuel for the alloying crucible, ore smelter and finery forge, and is an ingredient in the steelmaking process.

Coal acts as two branches worth of fuel when using kilns, ovens, cauldrons, and any other wood-fueled objects. It acts as 1 tick of fuel when using smelters and crucibles.

How to Acquire

Charcoal is produced by burning blocks of wood and boards in a kiln. Both provide 2 pieces of charcoal. You need to burn 2 branches or 1 board to make charcoal from boards or 4 branches to make it from blocks of wood.

Turning boards into charcoal takes 2 ticks of fuel. Turning blocks into charcoal takes 4 ticks of fuel.

1 Tick = 5 minutes 33 seconds (333 seconds) 2 Ticks (Boards) = 11 minutes 06 seconds (666 seconds) 4 Ticks (Blocks) = 22 minutes 12 seconds (1332 seconds)

Boards, blocks of wood and charcoal can also be used as fuel.

Quality

Items that affect the quality of making charcoal are: Blocks of Wood / Boards, fuel and the kiln used to create charcoal

The formula that determines the quality is ${\frac {2Q_{w}+Q_{k}+Q_{f}}{4}}$

Where $Q_{w}$ is the block of wood or board quality, $Q_{k}$ is the kiln quality, and $Q_{f}$ is the fuel quality.
