Coal

It burns three times as long as a log does.

Where to find it#

Coal boulders are all over the map, about one boulder in 7, high ground or low. Some of the rich seams up high are coal as well, about one seam in 6. There's a coal boulder a few steps northwest of the camp fire.

In a mine there are two coal seams on levels 1 to 3, with the most on level 2. A seam is a flat layer, so on a level it shows up as a long stripe. Once you're into one it usually keeps going for a while.

How much you get#

A boulder gives you 2 coal and 1 stone. A cell of seam in the mine gives you 3 coal.

Which level#

You can find it on levels 1 to 3, and level 2 has the most.

This is how much each level has across the whole map, compared to the best one.

What it's for#

  • As fuel, one lump keeps a fire going for 15 minutes, where a log only does 5. It won't catch on its own though, so you need to get the fire going with wood first.
  • Smelting: every iron bar you make at a forge takes 1 coal.
