Allowing raw clay smelting in an open fire on a Vintage Story server provides players with an accessible, early-game method to create basic ceramic vessels without the immediate need for a specialized pit kiln. This modification significantly speeds up initial progress by enabling the quick production of storage crocks and cooking pots during the first few days of survival. While it reduces the realism of the traditional firing process, it offers a smoother learning curve for newcomers or those on fast-paced servers who want to skip the labor-intensive setup of early infrastructure.
Note: The message
"Can't smelt, requires a kiln"will still be displayed and can be ignored. The temperature will reach 600°C before cooking starts
