Was watching AAA Factrio with Arumba, Aavak and Steejo, they had a lot of logs... well i know you could put them in the trains, boilers, burner inserters, stone furnaces, but why not logs to a furnace and make "char" coal. Now i put "char" in quotes because they are different between the two, charcoal comes from removing water from logs and coal is a fossil fuel.

So my request would be make charcoal from logs, if code allows it have it produce less pollution than coal or solid fuel, but have slightly higher fuel value raw wood being 4MJ so charcoal having maybe 5-6MJ (coal being 8MJ) so it would be in between that.

Thanks!

Treefarm AC gives you the option to burn wood into charcoal, and coal in to coalcoke i think.

There should be options to convert coal into liquid hydrocarbon.

See wikipedia.
