Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lome) 12:33, February 28, 2017 (UTC) True, but if you place like 10 smoke stacks on top of each other, it starts getting a bit rickdickulous. Perhaps the boost starts off significant, but slowly becomes less and less effective? Would a tall smokestack really do any more good over a short one? Yes. Very much so how? i know it could bring smoke further out so that a smithy isnt clouded with it, but i don't see how it would bring any more out Like Direranger50 said, the more oxygen would allow the coal to be used much more effectively, and even make purer steel, since it won't be clouded / impure when being made. I'm sorry, but i still fail to see how that would work, it would merely exit at a different point, no more oxygen than a short one, nor any more smoke ejected. That makes sense if you word it like that, but a larger smoke stack doesn't only redirect the smoke farther, but it also allows more oxygen to be swallowed back in.

The length might not be that much of a factor, but if it has a larger flow capacity than that allows more oxygen to reach the forge. Like a cable, having a bigger voltage (total energy) doesn't do anything if you have a slow amp ( volts per second), but having a larger ampage (more volts per second) allows you to transport a larger amount of volts in a shorter period, regardless of how many volts there are.
