Did they nerf the coal maker?

Needs 40 lumber now to make a batch of coal

Update : Added more coal storage for the coal-maker
But the funny thing is take more but give you the same XD

[marhaulte]

Yeah it seems so. I was confused also.

[SerBucky]

My coal storage is still 100 so unchanged, or was it lower before and i just didnt notice.
Also is this why my coal maker is always complaining about firewood and i am now, for the first time in the game, actually 0 on firewood instead of it being littered across the hillsides.

[Kryten]

I also wondered about that. Storage before the patch was definitely 50 per, so 100 total, so that did not change.

Just store tons of firewood and coal in your warehouses and you will never run out. That being said, coal burns at the same rate as firewood, you can just stack more and they go into small item bag instead of large items.

Burn rates need fixing, coal should last twice as long as firewood and both fuels should last longer. I took screenshots, Roughly 9% of fuel is burned every 1 in game hour. You have to refill the fires 2.16 times a game day, per campfire because villagers don't do it, bugged or something. I have about 8 main campfires I have to keep burning throughout winter to keep my 100 villagers from freezing to death, about 4 more when the invasion happens.

That is a lot of firewood and coal I burn through every winter. And that doesn't include the healer, housing or cook stations which seem to keep themselves going.

Yeah the campfires really do need to last longer, its a pain in winter, maybe a job for a villager to go around and refuel all campfires you have would help

[Skeletkopf]

Simple trick i used is to make a villager have the job BBQ and gave him the job to burn whatever available Veggies i had he refuel and kept the fire burning in his work time and made food kinda win-win as long as your farms dont run out of veggies for the cookhouse.
