an industrial forge converts 1 wood into 1 charcoal every second

yup or if you cant afford this go 20 feet from your base out of the way or on the roof and put down a ton of campires (cheap and easy) put 100 wood in each and now you have tons of charcoal wait 30 mins and done.

Without burning wood you won't get charcoal. Simple as that.
I usually just stuff my standing / wall torches, campfires, refining forges I have in my base full of wood, light them and then log out for the day. Upon login I check said places and usually have quite a lot of charoal at my disposal.

Key in this is really doing it consistently. And yes, farming wood is a pain and also necessary.

Use a few cooking pots. They hold 12 stacks of wood and burn it at a good rate and are cheap and easy to build.

My tribe has 6 set up that we fill up most nights before logging off when we are low on charcoal. The more you use the more you will have to use the next day. With 6 we make 7200 charcoal at a time it's around a 5h burn time for all of it and you only need wood to burn

Industrial forge is ok if you have one to fill and leave it for 2hs you can do 5900 charcoal with 7 gas . But my tribe just use it for metal. And making a ton of gas quick for our bases

Edit. Don't do standing torch as wood burns for a longer time in them if you want it soon. 100 stack of wood has a 11h+ burn time

industrial forges work nice for this put a few hundred or so wood in it hit it go do something for 5 min or so come back and a ton of charcole. if ya wanna go old way with it make 10 or so standing torches fill them with wood and leave them burn 24/7

This is a good plan and if you do not want to wait for it, load them all up before you go to bed. Wake up to your presents!

Gun powder needs sparkpowder and charcoal to make it. So while at first you are throwing away most charcoal it's only useful at low lvls for flares and you don't need a lot of gun powder to make them.
Once you get mid lvl and unlock guns or get that long rifle and bullets for it and tanq darts unlocked it gets to be a major resource that makes taming easier.

Let alone if you want to later start using guns for stuff later other then taming.

I would hope by the time someone is level 85 they would have figured out how to mass produce charcol so I'm going to assume OP is well below level 85.

Just make about 12 campfires, load them up with wood, light the first and go do something else for 3 hours. When you come back you'll have enough charcol for 300 bullets.
