Charcoal Huts Need a Buff

[All Good Girl]

I have 2 camps and they are not producing a lot of coal. Which becomes an issue because it slows down the iron production as well.

just to be sure, the huts need their own area to cut down wood, as this could overlap with the woodcutters, place a forester nearby and watch if the marked area has enough trees

They don't know how to take wood from a warehouse. This is very stupid :(

No it's not, put your charcoal burner in a forest, with a forester zone around them, draw a woodcutting zone around and they will produce a lot of coal. Even more if their house is not to far.

IRL charcoal burners have always works directly in the forest.

I always place my Charcoal Huts in the same area my Woodcutters are. I never have Issues. I only need a 2nd Forester so the Forest doesnt get cut down entirely xD

if we go down to how they would behave IRL ... then coal huts should produce cut wood too or not even conflict with cutters for trees as both use different raw material states :)

i admit its not good explained within the game, but the charcoal hut will be more productive when surrounded with woods

There is no coppice and timberland in the game, so we will never see a coppice under timberland etheir.

My charcoal huts have their own designated forest to cut, but what baffles me is the coal production is still very slow.

Yep, everything needs far too much coal, they can't keep up.

Well, they can, if you spread like 5 of them all over the edges of the map with access to forests, but the production requirements are very odd compared to most other goods.

It's because they need a little buff to coal production. If the dev doesn't feel the same way there is/will be a mod to buff the coal production once the dev has made the mod API available in the regular release of the game, currently the modding version of the game is in a beta release for all to try and I'm trying it to see if the old coal+ mod still works in game.

Last game I felt like it would been easier to just burn the forest down and collect it.

don't play at x3 speed, it's kill your production (yup really, this game is bugged like hell)
