Manor-Lords:Charcoal
Charcoal is a type of Fuel needed to fuel Buildings in Manor Lords.
Charcoal Production
These are the items and steps needed to make Charcoal:
- Build a Woodcutter's Lodge
- Unlock Charcoal Burning
- Build a Charcoal Kiln
Build a Woodcutter's Lodge
A Woodcutter's Lodge is a Gathering building used to produce Firewood. The Woodcutter's Lodge will need 3 workers, cost 1 Timber to build, and can hold x50 Firewood. Aim to build the Woodcutter's Lodge near the Charcoal Kiln, this will help shorten transportation time.
Unlock Charcoal Burning Development Node
The Charcoal Burning Development can be found in the Industry section of the Development tree, and it will cost 1 Development point to unlock it.
Build a Charcoal Kiln
Once you have unlocked the Charcoal Burning Development, use 2 Timbers and build a Charcoal Kiln. The Kiln will turn x1 Firewood into 2 Charcoals, boosting your production and doubling your fuel.
It takes time to convert Firewoods into Charcoal, so make sure to start your Charcoal production early, ideally during early Spring. This will allow you time to get enough fuel to make it through Winter.
A Forager's Hut is also worth managing to avoid too much deforestation.
Charcoal Usage
Charcoals are used to fuel buildings such as the Bloomery, Smithy, Clay Furnace, Malthouse, and the Manor.
Excess Charcoals can be exported to earn some Regional Wealth.
