Coal is a Consumable Ore found in the Temperate and Caustic Biomes. It can be used to create power using a Coal Generator. Hatches produce Coal after consuming enough resources.

Usage

• Coal can be used to generate Power in the Coal Generator.

  1 kg/s Coal = 600 W Power + 20 g/s Carbon Dioxide.

• Coal can be used in Kiln to produce Refined Carbon (which is further used in Steel production) and Ceramic.

  125 kg Coal = 100 kg Refined Carbon.

  100 kg Clay + 25 kg Coal = 100 kg Ceramic.

• Apothecary uses coal in some medicine recipes:
  • Vitamin Chews, that slightly increase germ resistance for 1 cycle

    1 kg Coal = 1 unit Vitamin Chews.

  • Curative Tablet, which cures Food Poisoning.

    1 kg Coal + 1 kg Water = 1 unit Curative Tablet.

Production

Hatches, Sage Hatches and Stone Hatches excrete Coal from various Resources. Note, that Smooth Hatches do not excrete Coal.

Note

Coal is a renewable resource if produced via Hatch ranching, as Hatches can be fed with renewable resources.
