Compacted Coal

Compacted Coal is an improved version of made by combining it with. It is used in a small number of alt recipes, particularly most versions of, or can be burned in a. 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.

Unlocking
It is one of two MAM researches to cost a, due to formerly being an alternate recipe.

Alternate recipes analysis
Alternate recipes analysis for is not applicable as there is only a single recipe to create.

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%.
