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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. After the kiln heats, 6 hours must pass and the kiln must not be opened or heat will be lost and process will reset.

  4. 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!
