      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Solved] Problems creating charcoal

3 posts in this topic

Sorry to bring this up, but in all of my searching it seems that I have a unique problem in this and I hope you will be able to help me.

 

When I set up a log pit, I do what seems to be the standard set up of 5x5 with the corners missing and filling it 2 layers deep with log piles which are full. In the center I place the final log pile, throw a torch on top and watch it catch fire, then cover it up. The particles it emits from the whole pile tell me I've done it correctly, however when I go to retrieve the charcoal later I find none.

 

So I made a creative test world and did the same set up using glass to see what's going on inside the pile. Same emission of particles from the whole pile makes it seems like it's working, but the log piles just burn up leaving no charcoal in its place. I figured maybe it takes in game time for the charcoal to process, so I afk'd to allow time to pass. After a few days no charcoal turned up. So I thought maybe it was the glass, so I did it all again with raw stone (not cobble) so I couldn't see the inside. Same thing.

 

Can anyone point out what it is that I am doing incorrectly? Once again, sorry for bringing this up considering it's a common problem through the patches, but my research on other topics brings no light to my dissapearing log pile problem.

All of the log piles must be 100% covered. If there is any air blocks next to any of the log piles on any side, the entire thing will go up in flames instead of create charcoal.

Wouldn't the fire go out if I put a block where the fire is? Or is that where the mod takes over?

 

Edit: Turns out the fire block I thought was necessary wasn't. Thanks for your time!
