PSA: Check the Golden Scythe Cave for Coal

[maestro]

Even if you've already cleared it, it's probably a good idea to check the Golden Scythe Cave every now and then, as coal nodes spawn there.

I see a lot of people complaining about a shortage of coal, and I bagged a good 20-30 coal just running through that cave once. The Quarry also spawns them, too!

I found coal nodes in the quarry outside as well just walking around.

with a wood chipper and charcoal kiln no one should ever be short on coal

To be fair, you're using up hardwood to get wood to burn to get coal which is rather inefficient. I'd rather keep the hardwood, and kill dust sprites instead.

you get 12 free hardwood a day from the secret woods and if you have the lumberjack skill cutting down all trees ingame will give you plenty of normal.hard wood theres no reason to have a shortage of coal

You're seriously going to take lumberjack over getting guaranteed (and sometimes double!) iridium-star pickups of stuff like truffles, coconuts, etc? lol. If you want, I suppose.

But my point was, hardwood is needed for other stuff. 100 for the house, 100 for the stables, 200 for the boat... I doubt you're going to want to be chopping it up for normal wood to burn for coal when there's much easier ways to get coal.

Not just pigs, but there's plenty of other stuff. Desert Fruit, Coconuts, Crystal Fruits... also, a lot of the forage items such as sweet peas, leeks, etc are "Liked" or "Loved" gifts by the villagers (Haley loves Coconuts for example) and nothing fills hearts up faster than giving iridium star loved gifts lol
