Coal Node in Cave

Coal Node in Cave

Coal is a fuel source for all fires (Campfire, Stone Forge, Brick Forge, Metal Stove, Oil Distiller and Coal Heater). It is the only fuel source that can be added to a Coal Heater.

Coal is obtained by breaking Coal nodes in Caves with any pickaxe. Each node yields 3 pieces of Coal. It can also be obtained as loot. Coal is the best fuel source for fires because it burns longer than other fuel sources (Sticks, Bark Chips, Firewood).
Coal has a glow when it is hidden behind an object.
