Yup, seems so.

I can actually confirm that tar kiln' q affects coal: mine is made of 7-8q clay and it always produces q9 coal of q10 blocks.

hm maybe i should test with some high q clay then...after i can destroy old ones though, dont want a base of tarkilns lol

The fastest wood I've tested is birch, which takes 15 minutes per log, but only yields .05l of tar per block. Pine takes 22.5 (45 for 2 blocks) and yields .25l tar per block.

I'll have to test spruce, but the other wood I checked also only gave .05l of tar per block.

avg q29 clay -> q10 coal

Just tar output is different atm. And I asked: tar kilns aren't going to influence the Q so don't use good clay on it

That was specifically told to me from jorb when I asked him.

I could see it acting as a soft cap though, but his description was "like drying racks" which don't influence quality.

Apparently loftar was lying to me, quite simply. Tar kiln qualities do matter.

Earlier statements withdrawn XD Tar kilns are soft caps only, much like finery forge worked in legacy (and I think it works like that here).

Good catch FractalTree

Historically Tar kilns used birch bark to make high quality tar. Perhaps this will be possible in the future? Or maybe it already is, I haven't tried.
