      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too!

Bloomery and charcoal...

I've learned more about natural science since joining this forum than I have from all other years since highschool combined, whether to reinforce a suggestion post or refute someone elses.

Refute! When arguing against someone here and trying to prove them wrong is much more compelling.

Well, If my way of saying things was too complicated, let's just say that I concur with author of this topic and in my previous essay I just told why.

I found your post interesting but had to stop reading midway because the lack of paragraphs was making my eyes bleed ;)

Well... I'm sorry for your eyes, my friend. I'm used to reading (and classic pieces are full of huge multi-page paragraphs; bear in mind that I'm in no way English speaker, so my grammar approach in English can't be perfect by definition) and I figured here of all places people would be accustomed to diligent and patient labor.

Don't forget we are accustomed to derail and arguing with others!

I have a question. I looked on the Wiki and didn't see anything that could answer my question.

I know you need a 1:1 ratio of ore and charcoal, but I seem to have some problems with that... If I place one charcoal and one ore in the bloomery and check the GUI, it always reads 0.0kg charcoal but 4.5 kg ore... Does the bloomery need a supply of charcoal to start burning? I always feel like I am placing more charcoal than a 1:1 ratio. Is extra charcoal required to keep the bloomery burning? Is the bloomery buggy a bit? I just haven't found any information about this anywhere. Thanks!

Yeah, it'll be burning the charcoal as time progresses, so you have to place some additional charcoal in there in addition to the 1:1 ratio. It can help to keep an eye on the amount in there and top it up as needed.

Ok good to know!

EDIT: Is there a specific amount per ore that needs to be added? I'd love to be perfectly efficient when I do this haha!

It really depends on the ore. Some ores take longer to heat up so you will burn more charcoal during that time. Also some ores require the use of the bellows which also burns more charcoal. Just have to experiment yourself as we aren't allowed to post exact numbers on the board for things like this.

Oh that's fine with me! I just didn't know if everything worked the same there was a specific number that gets used up when doing it.

True dwarves all have beards! Though generally don't go on expeditions until the age of 60-80... The mountainhomes don't let you take young-ins with you. They are generally birthed while in combat as well.

Ok, ok, enough of my derailment.. :)

How can achartran live without a beard? I read in the past that a dwarf without a beard would rather die than go home so.

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE.

(if I like you...)

You may also receive custom ones if you impress me in some way, or earn it.

I'd rather earn it ( so if you don't want to, don't) but could I have one?

AND WOW. Those were FAST replies. :P

"809 posts" you very much earned a title, because you help contribute to the forums. That's the other way to get one, if you have a high enough rating, you can edit your own, I think.
