Coal

Coal is a common early-game resource found in the world which is used for advanced smelting or power generation. It can power Coal Generators and vehicles. It burns for four seconds in a Coal Generator.
For more details about Coal power, see Coal Generator.

=== Extraction energy ===
It takes about MJ to extract 1 Coal. Further reading: Extraction energy

=== Alternate recipes analysis ===
Alternate recipes analysis for is not applicable as both alternate recipes cannot be fully automated. However, to produce electricity with no resources on hand other than water for the coal generator, buying biomass in the AWESOME shop and converting it to biocoal appears to be the most efficient solution in terms of coupons (72000 MJ/coupon).

== Tips ==
* Some Coal nodes are blocked by boulders which can be detonated using a Nobelisk Detonator.
* Most Coal nodes are near the water, except some at the Grass Fields and Dune Desert. It is advised to avoid these nodes when setting up Coal power.
== Current issue ==
While the Satisfactory Interactive Map indicates that there are 15 pure nodes, one of the pure nodes in Dune Desert overlaps with another, effectively reducing the resource node count by 1. Thus, 780/min of Coal resources is lost.

== History ==
* Patch 0.3.4.9: Reverted to the old mesh as of 0.3.4.7, improved icon readability
* Patch 0.3.4.7: New mesh and icon introduced
* Patch 0.3: Fuel value was re-balanced to 300, from 270. The resulting burn time however was reduced due to increased Coal Generator power output.
* Patch 0.2.1.19: New mesh and icon introduced
