General Oscillated Bonfire Recipe

Introduction

Oscillated bonfire is the most efficient way to make all bonfire products. running them take some "arcade" skills but they are fairly easy to operate. the method for each input resource is identical but the variable change. It also exploit the heat overlaps much better than other methods. this method is considered mind numbing but it saves both time resources. Other than that it's fairly relaxed and not as click intensive as it seems.

The value chart section gives you all the numbers needed for each type of fire, when to light the second group and when to add the resources (inputs) . the formula chart section has a few useful formulas and defenitions. the method section is a step by step method that refers to the 2 charts . be sure to also read the tips if you are new to this type of bonfire.

all you need to do is to replace the variables and formulas in the method with the values and you'll get a standard recipe.

Generic Formulas

Variable	Formula
ticks (T)	input from user (20+ is good)
fires (F)	input from user (even number 8 to 14)
total wood	ROUNDUP( F*(W + T/2))
yield per minute	O*F*6
input per fire	B*T
total input	B*T*F
output per fire	INT(T*O)

Method

• get F*(W+T/2) wood and B*T*F input of each kind in your inventory
• build F bonfires of W wood each
• divide the bonfires into 2 group of equal size and pin their windows
• light the first group of bonfire wait the wood to reach W-3 and then light the second group
• wait for the first group to reach A wood and add B*T input to each of the fires then do the same to the other group
• wait for the first fire in the second group to hit 0 wood and add 1 wood to all fires in the first group
• wait for the first fire in the first group to hit 0 wood and add 1 wood to all fires in the second group
• repeat the last 2 steps until you run out of wood

Tips

• use the keyboard enter key rather than click ok
• for low heat fires add ingridiants at lower heat there might be some waste but it's important to stay in sync. Limestone and papyrus for example you can just add before you light
• use F = 8 T=20 at the beginning and see if you can handle it. Then increase T to 40 and later F to 10 . If you desire you can try higher Fs
• You can try charcoal fires at limestone heat and see if you get total output as expected (it's a very efficient CC method too)
