Coal Locations & Farming Guide
Pairs with Ore for Refined Ingots — the mid-game bottleneck.
Coal is mined from coal rocks and is required for Refined Ingots, Carbon Fiber and higher-tier gear. You need it as soon as you unlock the Improved Furnace.
What it's used for
| Recipe |
|---|
| Refined Ingot — Coal ×2 + Ore ×2 |
| Carbon Fiber — Coal ×2 + Flame Organ ×1 |
| Coal Quarry — unlocks passive coal production |
| Coralum Ingot — Coal ×20 + Coralum Ore ×5 + Ore ×30 |
Where to find it
Coal rocks spawn in the desert and mountain regions (Desiccated Dunes, Mount Obsidian, and the Astral Mountains).
