Coal, how to get it?

[minicats]

I can't find where I can get coal except for buying it.

Cant remember coal being part of the base game.

Its not.

Unless its part of the unstable version...?

Some mod. I got it from a quarry

[Toasty_Tacos]

Likely industrial rim or another mod that adds industrial era stuff

There is coal in Medieval Times mod.

Coal must be mined in some way or fashion.

If the mod has some unique ways of mining try those as well as the base method of mining.

I also believe a mod that add items adds it to the list of items traders sell.

Only time I have seen coal in Rimworld was when playing Hardcore SK, so it's definitely from a mod, had to be mined, quarried, or purchased.

Yes I play with mods, especially Medieval and got a generator that is fueled by coal. But no mod provides a steady supply of coal, seems its only availabe from merchants. That sucks. Btw have the quarry too but it provides no coal.
So I suppose its better just to ignore the coal generator since coal is not obtainable normally even with mods.
Thanks all.

The medieval mod gets coal from the quarry building last I checked. It should be a bill.

Make sure you're using the correct quarry. The medieval mod has its own quarry as part of the mod. If you have other mods that also add quarry's they won't give you coal.

first off, coal is definetly modded. There are several mods that add it and most of them patch themselves for other mods that also add it but make sure you check both pages and please understand the one on the bottom of the list is the one that takes over.

Coal can be mined, quarried, or purchased from merchants and traders.
However, some places don't have coal. Some map tiles will have no coal on the over map but have some in the quarry, vice versa, or just none at all. Its completley dependent on map generation and where you are in the world.

Some mods also include charcoal. Charcoal can be used as a coal substitute but it adds an extra step.

Hope this helps.
