Description
Beehive Kiln [OBSOLETE]
<span style="color: #e74c3c;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">A beehive kiln has been added to vanilla! This mod is no longer needed, though will remain up on ModDB for older VS versions.</span>
Overview
A mod that adds beehive kiln to Vintage Story; the beehive kiln is mutli-block kiln for mass pottery firing after pit kilns.
Quick-start guide
-
Kiln must be constructed, filled with raw pottery, and sealed. Consult the mod images for proper setup. Viewing the block info of the flue will show construction errors.
-
A firepit must be lit underneath with fuel that burns at a hot enough temperature. Viewing the block info of the flue will show current kiln temperature.
-
After the kiln heats, 6 hours must pass and the kiln must not be opened or heat will be lost and process will reset.
-
After firing completes, break open the kiln to get your fired items.
Things to note
-
Breaking a kiln, or opening the door of a large kiln, will cause the firing process to reset.
-
Being inside the larger, walkable kiln once it is at firing temp will kill you very fast.
-
Shelves can be used inside a kiln, and raw items within them will be fired just like items on the floor of the kiln.
-
After firing, some kiln bricks will become damaged and must be replaced; this is configurable!
