Inputs and outputs
- Makes Tallow candles (Light T2): houses L2+, Monastery, night shifts; Rushlights (Light T1): Cottage, Almshouse; Tallow (rendered): Soap boiler, Currier (leather dressing)
- Needs beef and mutton fat (Butcher), reeds (Mill Pond), flax yarn (wicks); 2 chandlers
Range rule
away from the market street: smell and fire risk high
Why it is interesting
Cheap light for the many (Light T1-T2) from slaughter fat; beeswax candles stay the Chandler's dearer line.
