Kettle
A kettle is used for reducing various liquids by boiling.
There are two methods used for the kettle:
- non-stoked (load with requirements including wood, leave until complete)
- stoked (load with requirements, stoke with 5 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 29 wood per kettle (assuming no mistakes), with the total process taking about 14 teppy minutes (30 teppysec per tic).
| Output | Input | Method |
| 5 potash | 5 ash, 25 water in jugs | stoked |
| 50 Flower Fertiliser | 1 catfish, 1 perch fish, 1 tilapia fish, 5 water in jugs, 5 wood | non-stoked, requires Horticulture |
| 50 Grain Fertiliser | 1 carp fish, 5 water in jugs, 5 wood | non-stoked, requires Barley Cultivation |
| 50 Weed Killer | 1 Toad Skin Mushrooms, 5 water in jugs, 5 wood | non-stoked, requires Barley Cultivation |
| 25 sulfur | 25 Sulphurous Water | stoked, requires Desiccation 1 |
| 3 salt | 25 Coconut Water | stoked, requires Desiccation 2 |
| 3 acid | 25 Sulphurous Water, 1 salt | stoked, requires Desiccation 3 |

Built: in a compound, uses 5x5 cells
Skill/Tech required: Cooking
Comments
- Use a large array of kettles, ideally placed near water.
- Sulfur can also be made by evaporating sulphurous water in a tub, which does not use wood or require any skills.
Details on operation
One stoked run of the kettle:
- load requirements
- Ignite (cost 5 wood)
- burns off 1 wood in lighting
- fire burns till 0 (4 wood)
- at 0 wood stoke 4; water is at 24 now
- at 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 20 now
- at 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 15 now
- at 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 10 now
- at 0 wood stoke 5; water is at 5 now.
- let burn out. - to not waste time+wood, make sure that "water" and "wood" are at the same amount, otherwise the extra wood will keep burning wasting time.
- you will get an option to take the product (don't discard ;) )
In total you will need 29 wood per kettle (assuming no mistakes), and it can get rather hectic running multiple kettles if you run out of wood....
Total process takes about 14 teppy minutes (30 teppysec per tic).
If you run out of wood, you can always ignite with more wood after, it may take more time but it works.
