Plain Potash Process

Adds a plain and realistic enough way with no bells and whistles to get potash from wood.

Potash can now be made by smelting wood in a firepit (Due to game limitations, you have to fuel the firewood for it to smelt into ash!), adding the ashes into water, and boiling the resulting mixture in a pot. In total, you get 2 potash for every 32 wood and 16L of water. Additionally, the wood ash can be used as fertilizer directly, although with only 1% Phosphorus (P) content and 3% Potassium (K) content.

1 firewood or 6 sticks for 1 ash (Firepit)

1L of water and 2 ash for 1L ash solution (Barrel)

8L of ash solution for 1 potash (Cooking Pot)

I recommend using this mod with my other mod, Simple Saltpetre Solution, which makes use of potash for making saltpetre.
