Coal spawn in the Abandoned Mine?
I've collected 39 lumps on day 34, now it's day 45 and zero coal spawned. Anyone else having this happened?

I'm kinda having the opposite problem, coals keeps spawning despite me not having picked them up, causing multiple coals at the same location. The cave between winding river and PV has that large room where branches and sticks spawn, and they spawned at least 100 branches making that light snow patch looking like a bird nest, and I have picked up at least 100 coal in that cave, all multiple stacked on top of each other.

30 to full respawn or the first one? I believe coal respawns one by one.

I know what the wiki says about the coal respawn in caves, but honestly I think that it's double than that, how many times I went there 10 days latter and get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but after 20, filled with coal again.

I found that for the Cinder Hills Mine (aka Abandoned Mine post update) I would expect to find the vast bulk of spawned coal after 20 days after the last collection. I generally would go after 30+ days when I did do coal collections when I got around to it.

30 days seems to be fairly standard for a full spawning cycle.

11 days? There should have been some coal but not many and they would be scattered (IMO) along the length of the mine. It might be that the devs when setting up the parameters decided that after a "rest" period then spawning would commence.

That's what I'd expect either. And that's why I was so unpleasantly surprised to find none.
