Regulator - charcoal hearth only
The regulator appears to control the amount of random shift in the hearth's behavior; increasing the regulation reduces the randomness and increases the time between ticks (allowing you more time to respond). Try starting with the hearth set to no more than 2. If you have problems, increase the regulation a step or two, and try again. With some experience, you should be able to make the hearth work most of the time with no regulation. Regulation is excellent for controlling randomness when running multiple hearths (4+)and with patience you can succeed with efficiencies less than 2:1 without using any water (except to speed cooling to take your cc and start again faster).
You cannot change the regulation once the hearth is running, so make sure it's set where you want it before you start.
Display and Controls
When you press the "Begin" button, the display immediately changes to six horizontal bar scales: Heat, Oxygen, Wood, Water, Danger, and Progress. Here's what they mean:
- Heat: Heat level of the fire. If this goes to zero, the fire goes out.
- Oxygen: Controlling oxygen is important to maintaining heat. If it goes to zero, the fire goes out.
- Wood: How much wood is left in the hearth.
- Water: How much water is left in the hearth.
- Danger: When this bar reaches the right hand side (100%), your wood erupts in flames, and ruins the charcoal batch.
- Progress: How close you are to finished. This bar starts at the left (0%), and grows to the right (100%). When it reaches 100%, it turns green, and you can shut down the hearth and extract your charcoal.
In addition, there are controls:
- Add Wood: Increase the amount of wood in the fire. This will remove 3 wood from your inventory per press.
- Add Water: Increase the amount of water in the fire. This will empty 1 jug in your inventory per press.
- Vent Control: Three buttons. The leftmost button closes the vent, the rightmost opens it, and the middle one sets it halfway.
