How to Make Charcoal from Firewood
Steps in Making Charcoal
To produce Charcoal, you need a Woodcutter's Lodge to produce Firewood. Next, use 1 Development point to purchase the Charcoal Burning development node that unlocks the Charcoal Kiln as a building.
To avoid complete deforestation, set a work area to limit where it goes to chop down trees. Additionally, you can also build a Forester's Hut to continue planting Trees for you to chop down once they mature.
Acquire Firewood
To efficiently gather Firewood, construct a Woodcutter's Lodge near trees. Once built, assign at least one family to work in the Woodcutter's Lodge to start a steady supply of Firewood.
Acquire Charcoal Burning
You will need 1 Development point to purchase the Charcoal Burning development node that unlocks the Charcoal Kiln as a building.
Developments Explained and How to Get Points
Build a Charcoal Kiln
| Material(s) | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Timber | x2 |
Once you have the Charcoal Kiln unlocked, only thing left to do is to build it. A Charcoal Kiln only costs 2 Timber and is recommended near your Woodcutter's Lodge for maximum efficiency.
Alternative Ways to Get Charcoal
Trade For Charcoal Directly
| Trade Route Cost | 15 Regional Wealth |
|---|---|
| Import Cost | 30 Regional Wealth |
If you have a surplus of Regional Wealth, you can opt to build a Trading Post and import Charcoal directly. This is not a recommended method as it not sustainable in the long term.
Trade For Firewood
| Trade Route Cost | 2 Regional Wealth |
|---|---|
| Import Cost | 11 Regional Wealth |
If you have a surplus of Regional Wealth, you can opt to build a Trading Post and import Firewood directly. This can help supply Firewood to your burgage plots, especially if your settlement has grown too large that the demand exceeds your current supply.
How to Trade (Trade Routes and Trading Post Guide)
If your region is still recovering from deforestation, you can still get Charcoal by importing Firewood for your Charcoal Kiln. This way your Charcoal Kiln can still get a supply of Firewood to convert into Charcoal.
