This does seem to make obtaning charcoal a terrible process, maybe buff the output for charcoal?

I didn't feel as though torches really would have the inventory space to hold the burned wood into charcoal (looking at the model), but the output of charcoal is the same for everything else except for the forge which produces it twice as fast. Do you think I should reduce the time wood burns to produce charcoal faster overall?

I feel the same way as searo, but how I would adress the situation is by increasing the overall burn time of charcoal, but not allowing for charcoal to burn in the forge. IE: Smoldering for a long time, but not burning hot enough to smelt metal.

Also priorities (IMO) should be based on the value of the item being burned, gasoline is far more valuable than wood, etc: Wood > Charcoal > Oil > Gas

Also the removal of sparkpowder from burnable items I feel was a mistake.

When do you plan on updating with the Angler Gel?
