Manor Lords

Clay Furnace - How to Build and Use

Add to Watchlist

Manor Lords - How to Use Clay Furnaces
The Clay Furnace is one of the Industry buildings available in Manor Lords. Learn what the Clay Furnace does, how to build and upgrade the Clay Furnace, and tips on how to use the Clay Furnace effectively here!

How to Use Clay Furnace

Build Next to Storehouse

Manor Lords - Build Clay Furnace Near Storehouse
Constructing your Clay Furnace next to or near a Storehouse will guarantee faster transportation of Clay and Firewood needed for the building to start producing Rooftiles.

Keep Fueled

Manor Lords - Keep Clay Furnace Fueled
The Clay Furnace requires Firewood in order to start producing Rooftiles or Charcoal if you have the Charcoal Kiln unlocked.

If you have workers assigned to the building, they will automatically fuel your Clay Furnace. Though, if you would like to manage your settlement's stock of fuel, you may limit its use in the building by setting Fuel Reserves

What to Do if Clay Furnace is Not Working

Check if You Have Fuel

Manor Lords - Check if Clay Furnace is Fueled
Confirm if your building is refueled from the indicator on the general tab and and consider setting your Fuel Reserves to 0. It might also take your workers a bit of time to transport Fuel if it is distant from a storehouse, causing shortage of fuel from time to time.

Reload a Previous Save

If you can confirm that your Clay Furnace is fueled enough to start production yet no Rooftiles are being produced, we recommend reloading a previous save file in order to fix this issue.
