Seasoned Firewood

If you, like me, enjoy having a fireplace at home but don’t want to cut down hundreds of trees for that luxury, this mod is for you. You can reduce your tree consumption by approximately six times! ;)

This mod introduces configurable, long-burning seasoned firewood. You can obtain it by preparing logs with a knife and letting them cure (in-time), or by sealing them with wax, resin, or fat.

Seasoned firewood burns ~7× longer than regular firewood, though at lower temperatures (~500 °C), making it ideal for ambience and decorative builds. Optionally, it can continue to age into "aged firewood" — a hotter, more efficient fuel — if enabled in the config.

The mod includes a config file where you can:

• Adjust curing times, burn duration and temperature for all firewood types

• Enable or disable the aging process

• Rebalance or disable vanilla firewood as fuel

 

By default, vanilla firewood remains unchanged. Seasoning into aged firewood is disabled unless explicitly enabled by setting: "EnableSeasonedToAgedTransition": true
