Description

An oven is a stone fire container best suited for cooking and baking. It can also be used to heat items, smelt ore, and make pottery, similar to a campfire or forge.

Creation

  • Activate a brick, right-click clay, and select Create > Containers > Oven.
  • The brick and clay used to start the oven are damaged if the attempt fails.
  • The rendered type requires 1 additional clay to create.

Improving

  • Activate shards from your inventory, right-click the oven, and select Improve.
  • Alternatively, activate a stone chisel, right-click the oven, and select Chip.
  • The quality of the oven affects fuel duration. Higher quality ovens allow fuel to last longer.
  • Higher quality ovens also heat items faster.

Rare Functionality

Note: Rare functionality is still not completely understood and is an exciting aspect of the game. Most information listed is only an observation of one or more players rather than confirmed by developers.


Ovens with rare properties heat contained items more quickly than regular ovens, and have been claimed to stay lit longer and cook food items faster.

Usage

  • Used for cooking and baking.
  • Adds less difficulty to meals than a forge, making it better suited for cooking at low skill.
  • Can be used to heat items.
  • Can be used to heat ore, though the resulting lump will have lower QL than the ore.
  • Can be used to make pottery.
  • To light the oven, activate a steel and flint while carrying kindling, right-click the oven, and select Light.
  • To fuel the oven, activate any wooden item, right-click the oven, and select Burn.
  • Fuel can also be placed inside the oven, allowing fire damage to burn it.

Notes

  • Loading requires a wagon.
  • Although a large cart can hold 3 crates, it is too small for an oven.
  • The oven takes approximately the space of 3 large crates when loaded.
  • Can be cleaned of ash with an activated shovel.
  • Cleaning can be done while moving, as long as you do not move too far away from the tile being worked on.
  • Items can be placed on top of the oven, if there is enough room, and will be heated if the oven is hot.
  • Wooden or otherwise flammable items placed on the oven will be burned.
