"Fuel" is sometimes used informally in the forums and in various wiki articles. The different terms are found in different places in the game, but all refer to the same thing, bars of either coke or charcoal. The only actual difference between charcoal and coke has to do with Elven traders - selling them charcoal will offend them, but coke will not.Ĭharcoal and coke are, of course, not fire-safe building materials. Both are "refined coal" or "coal", or just "fuel". There is currently no way (or need) to distinguish between the two when designating stockpiles.Īt the risk of repetition, but to be perfectly clear - despite the different names, there is no distinction between charcoal and coke for any workshop-related activities. ( Bituminous coal is not the same as "coal", and does not refer to fuel, but can be converted into coke at a Smelter.)īoth charcoal and coke come in bars, and are stockpiled in Bars/Block stockpiles if the "coal" entry is selected within the "Bars" section. Whenever you see "fuel", "refined coal" or "coal" in-game, those refer to either charcoal or coke - they are interchangeable, and either one will serve the same purpose, as fuel for the desired activity. The two sub-types of fuel are charcoal and coke, and they are effectively identical for in-game purposes, even if they come from different sources and have different in-game names. 2.2 Coke, from bituminous coal or lignite.To place bars of fuel in a stockpile, create a Bars/Blocks stockpile, or a custom stockpile with "coal" (found in the "Bars" sub-category) enabled and permitted. Refined coal is also needed as part of the pig iron and steel creation process (see below).Īlthough both "charcoal" and "coke" are simply listed as such when viewed in the game with the k, they are found under the "bars" section of the z-stocks menu, and can be used to build vertical bars, and so a unit of fuel is usually considered "a bar". Magma versions of these facilities do not need fuel, and in fact cannot use conventional fuel to power them if their magma sources fail. One unit of either of these fuels is required for every task at a conventional (non-magma) smelter, forge, kiln, or glass furnace. ☼MASTERWORK☼ (Disambiguation: In Dwarf Fortress, bituminous coal is not the same as "coal" - see that article if desired.)įuel, refined coal, and just coal are three in-game terms that refer the same thing, any unit of charcoal or coke, the two fuels used to power high-temperature industries, namely metalworking, glassworking, and pottery.
