Branches/Ticks/...?

Post by FictionRyu »

Honestly, this whole Tick is rather confusing for me..

4 Branches = How many minutes in the oven?
Or, how much should I set my InGame timer for?

Oh and before anyone quotes me the Wiki I've read up on Ticks no the WUnfortunatelynatly it's a stub which doesn't give me personally very much information.

I just need one simple answer to my question.

*EDIT*
Another rather simple question, how long does it take for a full Clay Cauldron take to boil water?

4 ticks ~ 20 minutes. 1 tick ~ 5 minutes. 1 branch, ergo ~5 minutes, and one block ~25.

Long enough that you get distracted and it burns out before you return.

Putting in a whole block is 4 ticks

There is an article on the wiki with fuel information, but I forget where it's at now. The 'tick' page is a stub for the reason. It's just a term that would be better off in a glossary for the game than having it's own page. Nobody has bothered to make a glossary, though.

Oh, well if or whenever you find that page please let me know. I'm sure it would help me a-lot. Because the entire thing for some reason is just hard for me to quite understand.

Projeer gave the answer above--5:33. That's approximate, though, due to various forms of lag and such. No idea what else you want to know about it.

Branches and charcoal - 1 tick
Board - 2 ticks
Block - 4 ticks

I went ahead and created a page called fuel as the term is referenced all over the wiki. Someone feel free to go in and clarify readability and fix any mistakes.
