Brazier

Acquisition[edit]

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[edit]

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.

The white area (6 tiles out) is 50% illumination, required for best surgery success chance; the yellow (7th tile) represents 30% or better, adequate for all general labor, avoiding mood penalties, and for growing decorative plants indoors in plant pots.

A lit brazier outputs light in a 10 tile radius, with the nearest 7.175 tiles at or above 30% light level and considered "Lit", to a maximum of 50%. The provided light in this area is bright enough to prevent work speed penalties, grow decorative plants, and prevent the debuff "In darkness". However, braziers are not bright enough to grow most crops indoors, which require 51% illumination. Light does not "stack", so no amount of braziers will ever give more than 50% illumination (e.g. for rice plants, etc).

Lit braziers will also heat enclosed rooms 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[edit]

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.
