− | + | '''Refined coal''', sometimes called fuel, is used to power high-temperature industries, namely metalworking and glassworking. One unit of refined coal is required for every task at a [[smelter]], [[metalsmith's forge]], [[kiln]], or [[glass furnace]]. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Refined coal is either '''charcoal''', created by converting [[wood]] at the [[wood furnace]], or '''coke''', created by refining from [[bituminous coal]] or [[lignite]] at the [[smelter]]. | |
− | + | Also, refined coal is necessary in the production of [[steel]] and [[pig iron]], even if using a [[magma smelter]]. | |

+ | :Required Skill - [[Wood burner]] | ||
− | + | Charcoal can be created at a [[wood furnace]] using one [[wood]] log by a [[dwarf]] with the Wood Burning skill on. | |
− | + | Charcoal is stored on [[Bar]]/[[Block]] [[stockpile]]s. | |
− | + | == Coke == | |

+ | :Required Material - [[Bituminous coal]] or [[lignite]] | ||
+ | ::::: (refined coal will be needed to power this at a normal smelter) | ||
+ | :Required Skill - [[Furnace operating]] | ||
− | + | Coke is a type of refined coal used to fire non-magma [[furnace]]s. It is created at the [[smelter]] from [[bituminous coal]], yielding 3 coke, and [[lignite]], yielding 2. | |
− | + | Veins of [[lignite]] and [[bituminous coal]] will be [[fire|ignited]] by [[magma]], destroying the whole thing in a raging inferno. The proccess takes a long time, you may want to look up minefires while you wait. | |
