Brazier

Acquisition

Braziers can be constructed once the complex furniture research project has been completed. Each requires 50 Stuff (Metallic/Stony, 500 for SMVs) and 1,000 ticks (16.67 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material.

Summary

The brazier consumes 2 wood per day as long as it is lit, and consumes an additional 0.0006 wood per 1 tick (0.02 secs), or a total of 38 wood per day, if it is lit while unroofed in the rain. It can hold up to 30 fuel at a time, for a maximum run time of 15 days. Fuel is delivered to the brazier by a haulers as long as refueling is enabled. An uninstalled brazier both stops consuming fuel and retains its fuel level when reinstalled.

It outputs light in a 10 tile radius, with the nearest 5 tiles being above 50% light level and considered lit. It heats the room to a maximum temperature of 23 °C (73.4 °F) at a rate of 3.5 heat per second.^{[Exact mechanic unclear]}

Two lit braziers are required in the throne room of every noble of "Acolyte" rank or above.

Analysis

Braziers are nearly identical to torch lamps; they output the same light radius and heat per second, with the same max temperature and fuel consumption. Braziers can hold 10 more wood and can be uninstalled, but require 50 Stuff (Metallic/Stony, 500 for SMVs) to make. You can uninstall the brazier as a time-consuming way to turn it off.

Braziers or darklight braziers are required for the aforementioned nobility. If the Ideology DLC is installed, then darklight braziers are the superior option; they have the exact same stats, including light radius, but consume 75% fuel.
