Wood to Charcoal - all wood should burn. Also tar and wood acid

203 votes

It would be nice if we could use any kind of wood to turn into charcoal at the forge... or maybe add a mineable node of coal into the game and they can be interchangeable? Im sitting on so much hardwood with no use now because i thought it would burn. Also wood acid and tar, basically anything in the charcoal kiln should be any type of wood.

As the title says some zones have fewer trees and who would think for a second that palm wood does burn! it would be awesome if we could just turn any type of wood into charcoal.

The only problem I have run into at late game (currently lvl 25) crafting is charcoal. getting a ton of it can be kind of a pain in the ass in relation to other high lvl crafting materials. The higher lvl zones offer a much quicker way to gather low lvl materials for high lvl recipes, except for charcoal.

I think it would be pretty nice to add an increased charcoal production from higher lvl woods.

ex: using hardwood only takes 10 for 15 charcoal, and palmwood would only take 5 for 15 charcoal.

the numbers might be out of balance but that's kinda the gist of my suggestion.

There's a valheim mod called "It's Just Wood" that does precisely this in Valheim. Enshrouded would do well to learn from it.

It kinda crazy that palm wood wood is kinda useless right now. You can make building mats out of it but thats it. It's not used for anything. Let us be able to make it into coal!!

Due to a crop respawn bug, I am inundated with corn and tomatoes. I'd like to burn ANY organic to charcoal.

Twigs should also be craftable into charcoal. Maybe like 50 twigs to 15 charcoal.
Hardwood Should be craftable into charcoal. Maybe like 12 wood to 15 charcoal.
Palm wood should be craftable into charcoal. Maybe like 8 wood to 15 charcoal.
