The Clay Cauldron is an important tool for Cooking and a variety of miscellaneous tasks. First cauldron a hearthling can do, takes 1 Tick, or approximately 5 minutes, for the clay cauldron to come to a boil before you can use it. In addition, the clay cauldron halves the quality of the water used in recipes.

The Clay Cauldron holds 30L of water when full and requires wood as fuel.

The Metal Cauldron is a direct upgrade to the Clay Cauldron that can be used as soon as its lit.

Quality

The quality of objects crafted with the Clay Cauldron is given by:

${_{q}Products={\frac {_{q}Ingredients*6+_{q}Cauldron+{\frac {_{q}Water}{2}}}{8}}}$

Note: The final water quality is capped to a minimum quality of 1.0.

or ${_{q}Water={\frac {_{q}Water}{2}}\ \mathbf {IF} \ _{q}Water>2\ \mathbf {ELSE} \ 1}$

Notes

• The wood blocks does not affect the quality of the cauldron.
• After the cauldron begins boiling it will continue to “boil”, even if water is removed or evaporates, so long as the fire beneath it remains lit (though water will have to be re-added). I.e. you can keep it lit for a long time and remove water to conserve it, so you do not have to wait for it to “re-boil” when you want to use it.

Game Development

• Fishing for Finery (2021-04-25)◎ >"Reduced passive water consumption of lit cauldrons. One full fuel meter should now burn through half (15l) of a cauldron's water meter."

• Mushroom Circle (2021-02-21)◎ >"Reduced cost of Clay Cauldron from 25 to 15 clay."

• Market Garden (2016-10-05)◎ >"Added/Re-added Gray, Cave, and Bone clays from Legacy, and implemented variable materials for existing clay objects -- pot, urn, kiln, and clay cauldron -- along with that."

• Burning Harmonica (2016-03-30)◎ >"You may now put out cauldrons."
