There is an upgrade that will allow you to change the Coal Pumps for more expensive but more efficient Steam Coal Pumps.Īnother improvement allows the carbon injectors to add 15 percent efficiency to all carbon cannons and steam cannons.
You can access the upgrades through Coal Hunter at tech levels 2 and 5. If you combine Coal Thumper with two Gathering Huts, your can optimally harvest infinite coal at its most efficient rate. So in the end it will take about 30 workers to get everything going in order.Īlmost all Collection Stations will allow you to achieve a degree of protection against the elements, which brings the number of workers sick from the cold too much lower amounts and if you improve the Collection Stations you can improve the insulation, further reducing the number of sick from the cold. The drawback is that it is labor intensive. These are the most flexible resource building, since it does not require close resources for its operation, in this respect the size of the building and the need for labor also influence.įor the basic coal hit, you will need 10 workers or engineers with the capacity to generate at least 560 units of coal per standard turn, but you must bear in mind that this coal is not added to the reserve, but a Coal Pile is created to up to 15 Workers or two Collection Stations. The Coal Thumper can produce enough coal per day to keep two Gathering Posts busy. In order to investigate it you will have to invest 10 wood and 15 to build it. For thumper, it will generates a coal pile whenever it works and you need to build gathering spots near that pile or send people to work on that pile (No. The first thing you have to do is access the coal structure, which is unlocked after investigating it in the workshop.
