The 5 steps at a glance
Wood in, burner in the middle, three products out.
Get hardwood. Axe, Lumberjack or Forester.
Build the Coal Burner. Tier 3.
Make resin. 1m 35s per log.
Make charcoal. Logs or hardwood.
Use them. Cured Rope, steel, planks.
Step 1: Get hardwood
The wiki's note on hardwood logs: Cut from hardwood trees in forests. Needs a Tier 2 axe. For a steady supply the wiki lists 2 buildings whose workers gather it: Forester and Lumberjack. To grow your own, the tree planting steps cover the Forester.
23 products use hardwood logs and 35 use Hardwood Planks, which are 5 Hardwood Log at a Pit Saw (4m 7s).
What the map leaves out
The wiki's map has no hardwood tree pins, so this page gives no locations. Hardwood trees are found in forests, per the wiki.
Step 2: Build the Coal Burner
The Coal Burner is a wiki tier-3 building. It costs 26 Cob, 25 Thatch, 6 Rope, 14 Hardwood Log, 22 Mosses. That cost needs cob and thatch too, which come from wheat: see the thatch and straw guide. Moss is a map resource with 9 pins.
Risks
The burner is a late, heavy build, and resin and charcoal both wait for it. Plan the wood, cob, thatch and moss before you start.
Step 3: Make resin
Resin is 1 Hardwood Log at the Coal Burner, 1m 35s. It is used in 2 recipes: Cured Rope, Medicinal salve.
Step 4: Make charcoal
Charcoal is 2 Log in 1m 40s, and the wiki also lists 2 Hardwood Logs in 3m 20s. The plain-log recipe takes half the time and keeps hardwood for resin and building (the tables do not state how much charcoal either craft makes). Charcoal is an ingredient of Steel Ingot and the fuel of the Smelter's Iron Ingot recipe: see the iron and steel guide.
Step 5: Use them
Cured Rope is 1 Rope, 2 Resin at a Weaver Loom in 20s. The wiki lists 21 products that use it. The Pit asks for 18, the Bakery 32.
Common mistakes
- Burning hardwood for charcoal. The log recipe is half the time.
- Starting the burner without moss. It is in the cost.
- Expecting a hardwood map layer. There is none.
