      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.

Firepits

14 posts in this topic

There should be something you can craft to put on a firepit where you can cook multiple things a once instead of one. I do not take credit for this i heard Mead say this in one of his videos. So all credit goes to Mead

Not that I wouldn't mind the alternative fuel usage, but wouldn't that take away from the need of advancing to get charcoal for the forge in order to mass cook things (cause everyone cooks their meals where they work their metals :)).

Maybe a metal cooking pot or pan could be crafted, and combined with a few sticks to make a cooking fire, firepit graphics with a pan suspended overhead. It would require sufficient tech advancement, and look pretty good. Like Salvatos says, cooking over a forge surrounded by tongs and anvils is a bit weird.

cooking pot, for making soup and/or stews ;) sounds like a nice idea.

This makes sense. There is no way in hell I would cook my food on top of my forge, for one, it runs far too hot :P

I think cooking is getting overhauled, so I could see this getting implemented ?

1) A stew pot (and the like) has been talked about quite a few times by Bioxx along with just general cooking appliances.

2) You do not (And are wasting) charcoal when using it in a forge. Use Coal.

Yay stew pot! I haven't been around long enough to see those comments, so this makes me quite happy. I'm hoping some form of brick oven 'structure' is in the mix too.

Defined structures like the Bloomery and Forge truly lead to the dedicated buildings that really help make communities look more lived-in and realistic.

A cooking Spit... For the love of my sanity, give me a cooking spit that allows me to cook multiple meats at once...

In real life, you can't use coal in a bloomary. You can't use coal directly in a forge either. It took a while for ancient people to figure out how. Even a small quantity of sulphur weakens steel, and all coal has sulphur. In a real forge, you start by building a fire over the tuyere, that's where air comes out of the bellows into the coal. Then pile a ring of coal around the fire. The ring is about 8 inches diameter, and in direct contact with burning coal. Heat from burning coal causes sulphur in the coal in the ring to burn off. This produces yellow smoke; that's sulphur dioxide gas. When the yellow smoke stops, you will find coal in that ring has turn into a light spongy substance that's still as black as coal. That's called coke. Coke is coal with all the sulphur removed. When you're done you should have burnt off all sulphur in the burning coal as well. Make sure all the coal in your forge is converted to coke before starting to work steel. If any coal remains, you will dramatically weaken your iron or steel. If you don't know how to do this, then you have to use charcoal.

I believe, based on what I see using NEI, that they are going to implement something like this for bituminous coal

Coke is "in" the game, but as far as I know its impossible to get without spawning it in.

Suggested some of this in my Cooking overhaul thread. Good to see support for the idea of a spit!

yeah, this could happen. I agree that the forge is the wrong place to be cooking your food.
