Coal in numbers

Coal turns Ore into Refined Ingots at a furnace, so most players want it next to Ore. It sits in dark rock nodes, mostly in the deserts and hills of the middle of the map.

The best Coal spots

Ranked by how many nodes fit inside one base: a base reaches about 35 m from its Palbox, and its Pals mine what’s inside. A large deposit counts double. “Within 100 m” is a short loop on foot. Coordinates are the game’s own map readout. The map can’t tell how flat the ground is, so look before you build.
