Don’t Starve Together: Finding and Crafting Charcoal

Wood charcoal is one of the materials that you will often need in Don’t Starve Together, but it is not so easy to find if you don’t know how. We will explain how to find it quickly.

How do you get wood charcoal? Wood charcoal is theoretically available on every corner once you know how to get it. Follow these steps:

  • Equip a torch or a fire staff
  • Set a fully grown tree on fire
  • Wait until it is completely black and burned out
  • Chop down the tree with your axe and you will receive 1 – 2 pieces of wood charcoal

Tip: Make sure not to set fire too close to your buildings or other players, as some fires can spread very quickly if you’re not careful. If you need a lot of charcoal, it may also be worth planting forests a bit away and then burning them down once they are big enough.

Alternatively, you can also defeat the enemy type Krampus, from which you can receive 2 pieces of wood charcoal. But beware: Krampus likes to steal your dropped items or those you store. Additionally, he only appears when your naughtiness is particularly high.
