Smelting and Roasting

UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

Smelting and Roasting is part of the Character Development panel, and is accessed by pressing ['] (Quote). With this skill tree the player uses various furnaces to create create metal bars and other crafting materials.

To progress in the Smelting and Roasting tree vertically, produce any material using the campfire to begin, and work your way up from there. For the campfire, you can also roast meat and cook simple meals to earn experience. Horizontal progress provides speed boosts to smelting each item.

Workstations

Smelting is done at player created workstations called Constructions. The workstations are crafted directly inside your inventory, meaning you do not have to create them at any other workshop. You can then place these objects in the world by right clicking them and selecting "use". Placing them in certain areas grants production speed bonuses. There are 4 workstations:

Campfire Lowest temp, suitable for heating simple meals and creating quicklime and iron lumps.
Bloomery Low temp, suitable for creating chamottes, iron lumps and steel.
Furnace Medium temp, suitable for creating quartz glass, steel and dziwer.
Metallurgic Furnace High temp, suitable for creating dziwer and bulat.

These can be filled with fuel and crafting materials, turned on and then left for a while to create items while you go do something else, like fight or farm or craft.

All 4 of these workstations may be built and running simultaneously once unlocked, allowing for multiplied production.

Fuel

A bloomery built in a non-loot Smelting District, creating Iron Lumps.

Fuel is required to heat any campfire or furnace. There are three primary fuels: Billets, charcoal, and coal. Each fuel burns at different maximum temperatures. Any crafted item requiring heat must be cooked at at least its minimum temperature. Some items like iron lumps can be created by simply heating billets, while some items like Bulat require hotter burning coal.

Billets - Max temp 4
Charcoal - Max temp 5
Coal - Max temp 6

As the flames consume the fuel, the temperature of the workstation decreases, so remember to come by every now and then to check on the heat and use the bellows to pump it up.
