The '''Charcoal Clamp''' is an advanced production building for the [[Charcoal]] resource, which is a more-efficient alternative to direct [[Wood]] burning for buildings that require a fuel source (such as the [[Foundry]] or [[Potter]]). In Nordic climates, it's also possible to acquire [[Charcoal]] directly from [[Peat]] tiles using the [[Soil miner|Soil Miner]]. After the transition to a [[Barter]] economy, [[Woodcutter]] capacity quickly becomes a crucial bottleneck on further population growth for many cities. This makes the switch to [[Charcoal]] a major technology milestone, providing exactly 3 times more fuel for production buildings for each unit of [[Wood]] collected. Operating the Charcoal Clamp also requires a substantial supply of either [[Clay]] or [[Mud]]. While [[Clay]] sources are much rarer than [[Mud]], the reduced cost per unit of [[Charcoal]] allows you to employ fewer Workers overall. Charcoal clamps are unlocked through the [[Charcoal (Knowledge)]] Idea. == Buildings == {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" ! style="padding: 8px" |Appearance ! style="padding: 8px" |Building Level ! style="padding: 8px" |Unlocked By ! style="padding: 8px" |Build Cost ! style="padding: 8px" |Base Efficiency ! style="padding: 8px" |Workers ! style="padding: 8px" |Profession |- |[[File:Charcoal 2 1.png|frameless|200x200px]] !2 ![[Charcoal (Knowledge)|Charcoal]] !2 [[Hammers]] 2 [[Wood]] 5 [[Clay]] !1.5 !1 ![[Farmer]] |} == Production == {| style="text-align:center;" class="wikitable" ! style="padding: 8px" rowspan="2" |Recipe ! style="padding: 8px" rowspan="2" |Building Level ! style="padding: 8px" colspan="4" |<u>Cost per Units Produced</u>* |- ! style="padding: 8px" |Workforce ! style="padding: 8px" |[[Wood]] ! style="padding: 8px" |[[Clay]] ! style="padding: 8px" |[[Mud]] |- ! style="padding: 8px" rowspan="2" |3 [[Charcoal]] ! rowspan="2" |1 ! rowspan="2" |2.0 ! rowspan="2" |4 !1 ! |- ! !2 |} ''* Charcoal production is unusual in that the game calculates it as batches of 3 units.
