2 Charcoal Rule

[hozz1235]

Ever notice that most stoves & fire barrels contain 2 charcoal?  Must be a Great Bear Rule, eh?

I thought it was just one,must've gone up in the update.😊

In my experience:
At least on PC...  Since patch v.423 "Faithful Cartographer," when I'd first find a firebox (be it a burned-out campfire, stoves, fire barrels, etc...) I would check it immediately.  Each firebox would tend to yield between 1 - 3 pieces of charcoal.  Granted, sometimes there wouldn't be any charcoal at all.

Now if only harvesting charcoal from a fire, while having nothing already in hand, would put the charcoal into my inventory automatically instead of forcing me to do the "put it away" action.  A QoL thing as it can be pretty irritating though it is not a big thing.
