Coal is one of the essential resources in Frostpunk 2 that is crucial for keeping your generator on and providing Heat throughout your various districts. Each district has a minimum of 20 Heat required which is all produced by the generator in the central district. Stockpiling coal right from the beginning of the game will help you a lot in running your districts.
This guide will help you mine coal in Frostpunk 2.
How to Mine Coal in Frostpunk 2
Coal is extracted from the coal mines under the Extraction District. The first step is to check for any coal resources on the map by pressing the Alt button. After that, you need to make your way to the area with coal by Frostbreaking. Press the X button to access the Frostbreaking action and select the 8 tiles at a time to initiate the Frostbreaking.
NOTE: Some coal mines could be far from your central district so you will have to do Frostbreaking multiple times before you reach them.
Once you have Frostbreaked the Coal Mines, the next step is to build an Extraction District on top of it. Press the B button to view the districts and then select the Extraction District. Select six tiles in which coal is located and confirm to start building the Extraction District. The required resources for building an Extraction District are as follows.
600 Workforce
40 Heatstamps
150 Prefabs
After building the Extraction District, it will start extracting the coal from the mines. You can control the output rate of coal by lowering and raising the workload meter. It will be set to 100% by default allowing your workers to mine the maximum coal. However, it also raises the demand for Heat and Materials. Moreover, you can also expand the Extraction District to increase the output and add an additional building.
All the coal will start stockpiling in the central district, but if you are in another region (colony), you will have to transfer the coil to the central district to stockpile it. You can do that by selecting the Colony icon and then transferring the coil using the slider options.
