Description
History
Colliers were known as the scum of the society. Dirty, dusty, smelly, and a certain breed of man. They did not get good rest for at least 8 days. On 9th day when they started a new batch was only the only night they got a good rest. They had to constantly tend to the mound. Make sure there was no holes opened up which would give it air and ruin charcoal. They had to pack out air pockets carefully which was dangerous cause you could fall through into the coals.

Description
To run 1 Iron making furnace it used a acre of forest a day. These were huge furnaces and made lots of Iron but at a high cost.

Instructions
The Charcoal Burner has 3 building stages.
1st. The Chimney which is what the kindlin will be put in to start the fire.
2nd. The chimney and billets. Billets is a variety of hard woods thin slices.
3rd. The chimney, billets and Straw.

The coal will take 10 minutes to make. You will need 20 logs to make coal, (remember the acre a day)
Logs Burn for 2 minutes, and coal burns for 10 minutes. This highly concentrated very hot burning fuel will make smelting Iron and cooking food use a fuel that does not require materials needed for other things. Hope you enjoy thanks.

Added better textures and a chopping block that crafts scrapwood into WoodenSticks

Any donations are welcome. Thanks

MOD looks good, but I have note for History. Colliers were respected persons in medieval times. Their social status decreases during 16th and lately 19th century.

In 14th and 15th century, colliers had very special status and privilegies. For example in Bohemia, they have freed from lots of taxes and fees, they have privilegy to wear a weapon (sword) in all cities in Bohemia. Colliers guild in Bohemia were one of the oldes guild.

Decline of the colliers became in 16th century, when they privilegies were gradually canceled. Degradation of colliers finished in 19th century with changes in metallurgy processes. With new fuel - black coal, there were no need for charcoal.

That's good to hear, thank you very much!
I also liked it as it was, but ... who would complain if he gets something for free xD

Update. Fixed mod again. Reduced crafting time on charcoal and increased charcoal output.

That certainly would look very nice. I didn't try this mod before 0.7 so i have no idea how it looked before. But I noticed a number of smoke effekts with other mod, which look quite different to what they were like in 0.6, like the steam engines from peaceman, as an example.
Why and how did Keen change this kind of visual effects?
But besides of this, I'm happy that the collier mod is working again. I think it's a great and nice mod for producing charcoal and again it gives more variety to the medieval world - thanks to you.

Sure no worries. Just wish i could get the thick black smoke back like i used to have it. I watched many videos of colliers and it was very smokey and dirty work.

Thank you again for the instant fix. :)
