How it works

  • Burning Wood as fuel turns each Wood into Charcoal in: Campfire, Cooking Pot, Refining Forge, Fireplace, Holiday Hearth Forge, Standing Torch, Wall Torch, Frontier Lamps
  • One Wood burns for 30 s in Campfire, Cooking Pot, Refining Forge, Fireplace; torches and lamps burn it 13.33 times as long
  • Refined from 1 Wood (1 s) in the Industrial Forge and the Steam Forge
  • Burnt wood nodes that give Charcoal are on The Center, Ragnarok and The Island; Scorched Earth has none
