[CHARCOAL] (I typed this instead of [CHEMISTRY] and it made me laugh so now it stays here)
About the PR
Simplifies the recipe for charcoal to just be
(1) carbon + (1) ash = (1) charcoal + (1) steam
(the ash is damp or something okay) with a secondary recipe of(1) carbon + (1) ash + (2) steam = (4) charcoal
The idea is that if you make it in an open container the steam evaporates and you lose yield compared to making it in a closed container.
Why's this needed?
Starting to address some of the rough edges of the chemistry rework. Someone asked in discord earlier how charcoal is made and I realised the explanation should not take half a page for a very basic medical chem. This version removes the common "all my charcoal vanished :(" complaint and brings the recipe more in line with its in-game level of power/complexity.
