| Where | Compound |
A Kettle is used for creating a range of products like Potash and Arsenic. It can also be used for evaporating various liquids by boiling.
Cost
Built in a Compound. Uses 5x5 cells.
Source
This building becomes available after you have learned the Cooking skill. Specific recipes may require additional techs or skills (see below).
Products
| Output | Input | Method | Tech/Skill Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Potash | 5 Ash, 25 Water in Jugs | Stoked | None |
| 50 Flower Fertilizer | 1 Catfish, 1 Perch Fish, 1 Tilapia Fish, 5 Water in Jugs, 5 Wood | Non-stoked | Horticulture |
| 50 Grain Fertilizer | 1 Carp Fish, 5 Water in Jugs, 5 Wood | Non-stoked | Barley Cultivation |
| 50 Weed Killer | 1 Toad Skin Mushrooms, 5 Water in Jugs, 5 Wood | Non-stoked | Barley Cultivation |
| 25 Sulfur* | 25 Sulphurous Water | Stoked | Desiccation (1) |
| 3 Salt | 25 Coconut Water | Stoked | Desiccation (2) to configure kettle but not to run it |
| 3 Acid | 25 Sulphurous Water, 1 Salt | Stoked | Desiccation (3) to configure kettle but not to run it |
| 8 Arsenic | 1 Razor's Edge Mushroom, 1 Scorpion's Brood Mushroom, 5 Oil, 5 Wood | Non-stoked | Toxin Extraction |
| 1 Geb's Tears | 10 Flower bulbs | Non-stoked (?) | Advanced Horticulture |
NOTE: Sulfur can also be made by evaporating Sulphurous Water in a tub, which does not use wood or require any skills. Basic and Sturdy Tubs break with usage.
Methods
There are two methods used for the kettle:
- Non-stoked - load with requirements including wood, leave until complete (Takes about 42 real seconds to complete).
- Stoked - load with requirements, stoke with wood and ignite, continue to add wood/stoke as it burns down until the liquid is boiled off. For stoked runs (see details below), you will need 28 wood per kettle (assuming no mistakes), with the total process taking about 15 teppy minutes (about 30 teppysec per tic / Tic meaning each wood burned takes about 30s each).
Stoking
In general terms, it works as follows:
- Once the kettle is ignited, it runs in a series of 30-teppysecond ticks. At the beginning of each tick, it consumes one deben of wood. At the end of the tick, it evaporates one deben of water. (Meaning that most of the time, except for the very beginning and end of the batch, it will consume one wood and one water simultaneously every 30 tsec.)
- The first three ticks after igniting are "warm-up" ticks... wood is consumed, but no water is evaporated.
- If at the beginning of a tick there is no wood left under the kettle, the fire goes out. The batch isn't ruined, but the fire will have to be reignited, and will go through the warm-up process again, wasting time and wood.
- You can stoke the kettle at any time to add wood, but it will only hold up to 5 at once.
- Takes 15 Teppy minutes to complete.
Stoking Run
- Load requirements
- Ignite (cost 5 wood)
- Burns off 1 wood in lighting
- Fire burns till 0 (4 wood)
- At 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 24 now
- At 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 19 now
- At 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 14 now
- At 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 9 now
- At 2 wood stoke 3; water is at 6 now
- Let burn out
- Take the product (don't discard!)
