Coal

Production of  Filaments

Supplying  Heaters

 **Coal** is a raw material. By default, it can be produced in the Old World and The Arctic.

## Production

**Coal** is one of the most important resources in the game. It can be obtained in three ways:

* Charcoal Kilns in  The Old World
* Charcoal Kilns in  The Arctic
* Coal Mines in the Old World

Coal mines are twice as productive and don't lower the attractiveness of an island, so coal mines should be a primary source of coal and charcoal kilns should be used only to make up for not having enough coal deposits.
