A pit kiln is a one deep hole dug into the earth, used to finish raw clay items. They are created by digging a 1 block deep hole and placing the raw pottery item(s) in the bottom. Players must then fill the kiln with dried grass, sticks and some form of fuel (firewood, peat, charcoal, coal, etc..).
Usage
Each finished kiln requires:
- An unfired piece of pottery.
- 10 dried grass: 5 layers of dried grass (2 grass per layer).
- 8 sticks: 2 layers of sticks (4 sticks per layer).
- 4-8 pieces of fuel (Some of the larger items such as Storage Vessels require 2 layers of fuel to fully cover.).
Once fueled they must be ignited with a torch or firestarter. Pit kilns can set surrounding items on fire, including flammable materials, tall grass, low-hanging tree branches, and the player. Rain or wet weather can also put out a pit kiln, forcing the player to re-ignite it and wait for the firing to finish again.
The firing will take approximately 20 ingame hours, so it's a good idea to prep the pit kiln before the night to let it fire away through the darkness. The fire on top of the kiln will stop burning when it's done, leaving only the finished pottery items in the hole. Finished items appear dark brown and no longer have "raw" in front of their name.
