How to make charcoal in Hytale

In Hytale, charcoal serves as a fuel source and a material for crafting certain items. Crafting it is a fairly simple process, easily mastered by players with the right technique.

This guide details how to make charcoal and its benefits.

How to make charcoal in Hytale

Charcoal is created by burning any fuel in a stove or fire. Every time wooden sticks, tree trunks, plant fibers, or other fuels are consumed in a workstation, charcoal is produced as a byproduct of the process.

This means that cooking food over a fire or smelting ore in a furnace using any fuel other than charcoal itself will create one unit of charcoal along with the finished item or ingot.

You can also convert all types of fuel into charcoal by placing them in the fuel slot of a campfire or furnace and activating the station. The fuel item will be converted into charcoal at a 1:1 ratio . The main reason for doing this is to consolidate all the different fuel sources in your inventory into a single, stackable form that’s convenient to store in one place.

Charcoal is a more efficient fuel than raw wood or plant fibers, but the difference is small. In most cases, you won’t notice a significant increase in efficiency when using charcoal instead of other materials.

Is there coal in Hytale?

No, it doesn’t currently exist. Coal ore doesn’t currently exist in Hytale, although this may change in the future. Players can’t find coal blocks in dungeons like copper or iron ore, and they can’t convert charcoal into coal.

It’s possible that some players will create a mod for Hytale that adds coal blocks, but they don’t exist in the base game.
