How can I obtain coal with kittens?
I just unlocked the Steel upgrade from the library, but nothing has changed (I think). The tooltip reads
Unlocks Coal and Steel production
but I don't get any coal. To produce steel, one should combine 100 iron and 100 coal in the workshop. My smelter's (I've got 3) reads
ironPerTick: 0.02
coalPerTickBase: 0
goldPerTick: 0.001
Even when I increase happiness to 91% (with hunters loot) there is no coal.
According to this question, I should have 30% of the materials, but I've got 3K wood, 1.8K minerals and 600 iron. That should do the trick if a new building should be unlocked, I suppose.
So, how do I get coal in my kittens-game?
Best Answer
There are two ways to get coal (that I know of, anyways). Both are upgrades in your workshop:
- Coal Furnace: Smelters produce coal while working
- Deep Mining: Mines can also produce coal
Each one of these needs lots of iron (1200 for Deep Mining, 2000 for Coal Furnace) to research, so you'll probably be focusing on storage in order to get both of these upgrades.
