Charcoal

Quick answer

Community staff say Charcoal is made by burning wood, not bought. Exact controls, burn time and yield remain unverified.

Community staff say to make Charcoal by burning wood rather than buying it. That answer does not provide current-build controls, burn time or yield.
Whitebear's separate, unverified lead describes using a torch on felled or dropped logs in dry weather, waiting for the material to change, then extinguishing the fire before collecting. Treat this sequence as something to test, not a confirmed current recipe.
A pre-Early Access moderator note identifies the fire extinguisher as the intended way to put out fires. This is historical context, not confirmation of current controls or the detailed burn sequence.

Do not start with a shop: the staff answer says Charcoal is burned from wood, not bought. No seller or stable purchase price is established by that answer.
Whitebear's unverified lead refers to felled or dropped logs in dry weather. It does not establish a special map location, and no exact current gathering spot is recorded.

Check your recipe's Charcoal requirement, keep construction logs separate and test a small amount before scaling up.

Coal delivery (dialogue-defined)
- Bring at least 8 Charcoal and choose the handoff response; the script removes 8.

These are the quests’ own configured objectives; they are not purchase prices, sell prices or quest rewards.

Check the linked recipe or quest for its own Charcoal amount and keep enough Wood Logs for construction before testing the burn lead.
If you test Whitebear's lead, use only a small amount and record your build, weather and result. The report warns that fire can kill the character; current controls, timing, yield and safe handling remain unverified.
