Toomah Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi all, I've been looking everywhere to find an answer to this and I can't find anything for this alpha so sorry if it's common knowledge. I'm currently trying to craft a bike, but to get the wheels I need coal. Well I know I can find it in the burnt biome, which I can't for the life of me find on my map. So, where do I farm it? I've been looking for above ground coal nodes to farm under but all I can find is boulders, iron and lead. Dug under some gravel in the forest biome but all I'm getting is stone. Am I getting unlucky or am I missing something? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhimer Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 You can loot wheels in some pass n gas crates. I got three that way. Also there is a Poi called something like "Dump n Lung coal company" that takes you down into a coal mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Some other POI's also have piles of coal that you can harvest. Look for medium sized industrial buildings, similar to aforementioned Dump N Lung. Some of them have a container filled with coal next to them. Then there's various low-yield sources such as burnt wood/trees (also in wasteland if I'm not mistaken), ovens and BBQ's, medical equipment. Shouldn't there also be some coal nodes in forest btw? Thought I saw it mentioned. Definitely seems absent in the desert and wasteland biomes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhimer Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Coal nodes definitely spawn in the forest. I found two on Pregen01. They were rare but they do exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomah Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thanks for the replies, I got a little lucky and came across a couple trash bags with 10+ each in them. Still unlucky finding the nodes though, but at least I know they're out there. Appreciate the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidster Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Coal nodes can be hard to spot since they're black. Lead nodes are visible from a mile, and iron nodes have a sort of distinctive shape and that orange splash of color. Coal nodes are small and black and you can walk by them especially if they are shaded by trees. They are significantly more rare than lead or iron; about the same as nitrate (in the forest anyhow). I've found maybe 3 coal nodes and 4 nitrate nodes in the forest biome on my RWG game, but a dozen or more each of lead and iron. I think the nodes show up as one-pixel (or so) grey dots on the map when zoomed in pretty close. For looting, coal can be found in: Forges Lab Equipment Ovens Grills Furnaces Burnt Wood Roof blocks (possibly available in non-burnt-biome houses?) Wood Burning Stove (harvested, not looted) Ember Pile (such as in fireplaces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
