Compacted Coal is an improved version of Coal Coal made by combining it with Sulfur Sulfur. It is used in a small number of alt recipes, particularly most versions of Turbofuel Turbofuel, or can be burned in a Coal Generator Coal Generator. While it does not directly generate more power than regular Coal when burned, the burn time is more than doubled (from 4 seconds to 8.4 seconds), meaning a given amount of Compacted Coal per minute can run over twice as many Coal Generators.

Tips[]

  • It takes exactly 7 Coal Generators at 100% clock speed to burn 50 Compacted Coal per minute. This is not immediately obvious due to one generator consuming about 7.143/min.
  • Sulfur used to make Compacted Coal is the rarest resource only behind Uranium, which should be taken into consideration before building large-scale production.

History[]

  • Patch 0.6.0.4: Can no longer be unlocked from Hard Drive research
  • Patch 0.6.0.0: The Compacted Coal alternative recipe is now available in the MAM Sulfur research tree
  • Patch 0.3:
    • Energy value increased from 600 to 630MJ
    • Changed the conversion from 150% to 100% which reduced the maximum production by 33%.
