Coke Oven

Introduction

A multi-block Coke Oven allows the creation of better fuel with a byproduct of Creosote Oil without the usage of power. Coke Ovens will not wallshare and cannot be built adjacent to each other.

Structure

Coke Oven under construction, formed, and working. Note hollow interior.

A 3*3*3 hollow cube of coke oven bricks. One Coke Oven requires:

• 26 Coke Oven Brick (block)
• made from: 104 Coke Oven Brick (item)
  • made from: 105 Clay & 175 Sand, with one brick left over.

Usage

You can use the Coke Oven to produce Charcoal from logs and Coal Coke from Coal. Charcoal cannot be turned into Coal Coke.

• Wood --> Charcoal
• Coal --> Coal Coke
• Cactus --> Cactus Coal --> Cactus Coke
• Sugar Cane --> Sugar Coal --> Sugar Coke

By-Products

Creosote Oil is the by-product of using the coke oven. It has multiple uses:

• Better torch recipe (1 Bucket Creosote + 1 Stick + 1 Wool = 5x Torches)
• Good furnace fuel (being able to smelt 32 items per bucket)
• Decent fuel for your RC steam boilers (using buckets of creosote oil in the solid-fueled firebox seems to have a lower fuel efficiency than piping creosote oil into liquid-fueled firebox)
• Fuel for combustion generator (the efficiency of it is kinda meh compared to other fuel source available in LV)
• Distill into lubricant (not a very bad source of it considering you will end up with A LOT of creosote oil)
• Crafting component in various Forestry Carpenter recipes. (Multi-block farms and Compartments)

Caution

For all railcraft multiblocks, the fluid is saved on the center of the bottom layer of the multiblock (i.e. the coke oven bricks block on the middle of the bottom 3*3 layer). Breaking it or re-centering the broken multiblock using another brick as the center will void all the fluid contained within. If you find yourself with a surplus of Creosote Oil and no way to stockpile it, breaking the bottom center block to void the excess is an option.
