Coal
Natural Resource
The solid combustible ore. Gradually formed by plants through complex biochemical and physical, and chemical changes. It is energy source and raw material for smelting and chemical production.
Summary
Coal ore is one of the core basic resources. Found commonly throughout the galaxy, it can be harvested and processed on almost any rocky planet. Coal is a byproduct of centuries of bio-matter slowly compressing into a dense carbon mesh. This makes it useful as a fuel source. It also can be further compressed and refined into other useful products.

Player Tips & Tricks
- The smelting recipe requires Smelting Purification to be researched.
- Energetic Graphite contains 16.67% more energy than its raw components, compacts better, and has a 60% fuel chamber boost, so smelting coal ore results in a strict upgrade.
- Coal Ore burns for 1s in the Thermal Power Station, consuming 60 Coal Ore per minute
- 2.7 MJ * 0.8 fuel efficiency / 2.16 MW = 1 s
