The Charcoal Clamp is an advanced production building for the Charcoal resource, which is a more-efficient alternative to direct Wood burning for buildings that require a fuel source (such as the Foundry or Potter). In Nordic climates, it's also possible to acquire Charcoal directly from Peat tiles using the Soil Miner.
After the transition to a Barter economy, Woodcutter capacity quickly becomes a crucial bottleneck on further population growth for many cities. This makes the switch to Charcoal a major technology milestone, providing nearly 3 times more fuel for production buildings for each unit of Wood collected.
Operating the Charcoal Clamp also requires a substantial supply of either Clay or Mud. While Clay sources are much rarer than Mud, the reduced cost per unit of Charcoal allows you to employ fewer Workers overall.
