Overview

Raeli ovens are semi-automated structures used to manufacture Raeli Tiles and gather Clay if upgraded. They are NOT actually built ON clay. It's hidden under the regular terrain.

Sources

Raeli ovens become available after learning the Raeli Pottery technology from the University of Art and Music.

Initial Cost

• 3000 Clay Bricks for Main Chamber
  
• 500 Concrete for Platform and Housing
• 100 Copper Wire for Mechanism Tensioner
• 25 Steel Sheeting for the Oven
• 20 Clay Steeped Wool Cloth for insulation

• Built: in a Small Construction Site placed at a hole dug by a pet Pig.

Dredging Mechanism

(only available if the initial construction was successfully located on a soft clay patch)
It is possible to build two ovens very close two one another, even if the soft clay patches were identified by the same breed of pig. However, when attempting to install the dredging mechanism, you will receive the message: "As you inspect the ground below, you notice another dredging system from a nearby oven that will make it impossible to Install a dredge here." Tearing down the preexisting oven resolves this conflict.

Upgrades

Clay Dredge

Raeli ovens can be upgraded to dredge clay instead of tiles. The option "Upgrade Oven with Clay Dredge" appears on the main oven menu provided you know Raeli Pottery and the oven isn't dredging or burning tiles.

To collect clay instead of tiles, requires:

• 1 Iron Pot
• 10 Bolt
• 10 Washer
• 1 Deckle

Note - When dredging clay the oven will not gather tiles, you can dredge tiles or clay, not both! After the upgrade you can choose which you would like the oven to do. Clay appears to be gathered at roughly the same rate that tiles would be.

Strengthen the Mechanism

When the Raeli oven is not in operation the oven menu has the option to Strengthen the Mechanism. This upgrades the Raeli Oven to work faster. How much faster is currently unknown. The oven will only allow you to upgrade if you have learned Structure Reinforcement.

It can be upgraded up to 7 times. To build Level 3, you must have already have built Level 1 and Level 2. Level 6 would first need levels 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 before you can do level 6. Therefore, the total actual costs to reach each level is:

	Level Cost				Total Cost Including Previous Levels				Total Cost for Raw Materials*
Upgrade Level	Iron Bar	Washer	Bolt	Clay Bricks	Total Iron Bar	Total Washer	Total Bolt	Total Clay Bricks	Total Iron	Total Charcoal (Using SCB)	Total Charcoal (Using MCB)	Total Beeswax	Total Clay	Total Wood to Fire the Bricks
From no upgrade to Level 1	10	10	10	50	10	10	10	50	24	158	68	36	34	30
From Level 1 to Level 2	20	20	20	100	30	30	30	150	71	472	202	104	100	78
From Level 2 to Level 3	30	30	30	150	60	60	60	300	140	940	400	200	200	150

From Level 4 to Level 5	50	50	50	250	150	150	150	750	351	2352	1002	504	500	378

• The wood is for firing the Clay Bricks and assumes the use of a True Kiln. Using a Reinforced Kiln (if available) would require less wood.

Use

Raeli ovens continually dredge Clay from the ground, accumulating it as unbaked Raeli Tiles. At any time the owner may start baking the accumulated tiles; this costs 25 Charcoal and halts the dredging process. Baking tiles requires the Raeli Pottery skill. All tiles must be baked together—it is not possible to bake some tiles and leave the others unbaked. It is not possible to remove unbaked tiles from an oven.

As the Raeli tiles bake, they gradually change color. All tiles begin as White and slowly cycle through a progressively darkening series of colors in 128 decrements that each vary from 10–120 seconds, ending up as Black. The total time can vary from 2-4 hours based on Raeli Operation skill and upgrade level. The exact colors that tiles pass through on their transition from White to Black depends on where the Raeli oven was built.

The owner of the Raeli oven may interrupt the baking process at any time to stop the tiles at a particular color. When baking, tile color is determined by written color, not the color shown in the color swatch. Once tiles have stopped baking, they cannot be re-baked later to change their color. After halting the baking process, the Raeli oven can be restarted to dredge new tiles.

The rate of dredging (and the rate of baking) is determined each time dredging or baking is started based on upgrade level, plus Raeli Operation skill, plus a random factor.

Starting and stopping the baking process contributes to an increase in your Raeli Operation skill according to the following progression:

Level	# tiles needed
1	2
2	5
3	11
4	23
5	35
6	67
7	191
8	382
9	765
10	1530
11	3061
12	6122
13	12245
14	24491

Ownership Rights

Raeli ovens have an option to allow the owner to make the oven public, but keep a percentage of the tiles burned as a fee for the use of the oven.

So, if you set it to "Owner Keeps 10%", then the user would get 90% of the tiles sent directly into their pocket, and the owner would get 10% of whatever color is burned, kept in the oven's inventory. The default behavior is for the owner to keep everything

Normally to let a non-owner use a building you would set it to be used by "Anyone". If you set an oven to be used by Anyone, then it overrides the "Non-owner Percentage", and they would keep it all.

So, to set up an Oven to be baked and dredged by people other than the owner, you have two options:

• If you don't want to keep any of the tiles for yourself, you can set it to be used by "Anyone"

• If you want to set a fee for use of the oven, you would set the normal permissions to something other than "Anyone", and then set a Non-owner Percentage to something more than zero.

NOTE: If you are using a public oven that has been set with an owner's percentage, your percentage of the tiles will go directly into your inventory so be sure you have room to carry them. If a public oven does NOT have an owner's percentage set, the burned tiles will stay in the oven's inventory until removed.

Pollution

In previous tellings, Raeli Ovens produced soot when fired, which could prevent such things as growing Flax, harvesting Fresh Leaves, and others. No pollution was reported in T7 and none is yet apparent in T8.
