Earth kiln

Description
New work building: Earth kiln, a mound of logs covered with clay that is slowly burnt to charcoal. On the whole quicker coal production, but less material efficient than the standart kiln.

I'm pretty sure what I thought was the door was not, in fact, the door. After clearing the field I was able to get it working. Thanks man. Great mod btw.

smokytehbear - Yes it is a thing that a building can't be reached, however, the building displays a different symbol in that case. The earth kiln has a front (where the holes are in the mound) and this is where the worker will stand to tend the kiln. There should be some space and the terrain should not be too steep for the villagers to walk.
The "ZZZ" is more indicative of missing resources to produce. How far away are your logs stored?

My man, I seem to be having an issue with the worker assigned actually entering the building and working. He's assigned the profession and also assigned to the workplace, but he's showing ZZZ like there isn't a kiln.

Is it possible he just can't reach it? Is that a thing?

Will do. May be a while, like Idaho, LIF will have to wait for the urge to play it again.

TEO438 - Thanks for remembering to report this! Still curious to figure this out. Could you send me what is in the file log.log (or log.txt) in the game main directory (steamapps/common/Life is Feudal Forest Village)? The file is overwritten every time the game is started, so I would need a copy right after thr crash. That would help me identify what causes that crash :-)

Comment length got me....;(

I don't know why this is happening, but it is always the left side. I haven't tried putting the kiln back, but will do that the next time I am in the game. I tend to play the game in spurts, so I don't konw when that will be. I will try out the crafting table, sounds good. I have many of your mods and the kiln is the only one that gives me a problem. See ya later.

Hey, me again. I went for a long time with no crashes with the kiln. They are back. I placed a stone road along the side of the default storage shed. Then placed an earth kiln with the work station close to that road, so when being worked the villager had his back to the storage shed. I used the shift key to minimize the footprint. After it was built and working, I laid roads completly around the kiln. Saved game and let the roads get built as I watched. Everytime the villager tried to build the section of road to the left of the kiln (from the kiln worker viewpoint), the game crashed. 4 times this happened. Removed kiln and roads built without a problem.

Update:

The earth kiln now has a unique build icon.

Der Meiler hat jetzt ein eigenes Bausymbol.
