1.4 update: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3156563880

Is there a way to prioritize the use of coal over wood?

Simple Chains: Steel by OwlChemist adds coal too and is updated to 1.4 — https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1702668415

I'm hoping someone updates this one...

I might try and update this soon if it doesn't get an official update

So did someone try it with Biotech? It worked fine with 1.3

Thanks @Locke

@Owlchemist there is a problem with braziers

I would like to tell everyone in advance that this mod might possibly NOT be compatible with "Medieval overhaul" mod (as it introduces coal) and any other mod that introduces it, i however have not tested it and will be testing their compatibility. it may be likely that they allow both of them to exist simultaneously without issue.

For those looking for a short term fix to not being able to refuel braziers, you can do the following:

Create the following folders (should exist up to \...\Patches\:

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1619943968\Patches\Royalty\Defs\ThingDefs_Buildings

Create Buildings.xml
Write the XML as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Patch>

<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<order>Append</order>
<xpath> Defs/ThingDef[defName = "Brazier"]/comps/li[contains(@Class,'CompProperties_Refuelable')]/fuelFilter/thingDefs</xpath>
<value>
<li>WDCoal</li>
</value>
</Operation>

</Patch>

Hopefully author sees this and will update mod such that braziers work

Could you update it so braziers can use this fuel?

awesome!

For anyone coming here to check: this works fine in 1.3 without any update needed. Just checked.

@hop11 I found this [JPT] Burn It for Fuel. It adds a tab to fuel burning buildings, and lets you pick what to burn.

same here @hop11 I'm wondering how to stop my pawns using it for campfire fuel. I need it to smelt iron to make steel so I can't afford to waste it on a campfire.

@hop11 unironically, that should be its top usage. Charcoal/ coal is essentially interchangeable after all.

Is there a way to configure this mod to not use coal to fuel EVERYTHING, a wood fired generator shouldn't be using chunks of coal

@Wemd, I'd love to see this mod get updated to allow for Braziers to be loaded with coal. Its the ONLY thing I don't like about this mod.

Does anyone know of a good Charcoal mod similar to this one?

this works with vanilla expanded mods?

(no tabulation cause spaces eats too many chars from message)

To be able to craft chemfuel from this coal like from regular wood create Recipes_Chemfuel.xml file in Defs folder of this mod and redact it by copy-pasting this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Defs>
<RecipeDef>
<defName>MakeChemfuelFromWDCoal</defName>
<label>make chemfuel from coal</label>
<description>Make a batch of chemfuel by extracting and condensing wood gas from coal.</description>

the braziers from Royalty cant be refueled with coal, why?

This would allow your mod to use coal to fuel pretty much anything and be compatible with any mod loaded above it. (It's just a slight alteration to your current patches, and only this one would be needed instead of all the ones you have.)

<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<order>Append</order>
<xpath> /Defs/ThingDef/comps/li[contains(@Class,'CompProperties_Refuelable')]/fuelFilter/thingDefs</xpath>
<value>
<li>WDCoal</li>
</value>
</Operation>

Love the mod, Don't like playing without it due to the added challenge. Wondering if there is any plans to add other mods for compatibility such as Dubs hygiene and the Vanilla Expanded mod pack?

So do the pawns prefer to refuel things with coal over wood? That's supposed to be a feature in Coal Expanded which I've been using but they still reach for the wood when coal is just as available, kind of an issue in a desert/ tundra playthough. What about compatibility with DBH and VFE?

I like your textures more honestly they're really pretty, I can tell its not Uraniam lol, Its just coal too here there's no fluff

i have translated this mod to ChineseSimplified
how can i give translation files to you？

@Dizzy Ioeuy
You're welcome! Glad you like it :)

Nice! TY for the update! Critical mod for me.

Updated to 1.2!
-Now it's possible to find coal with a long-range scanner.
-Spanish (Castellano) translation added. Thanks to @Azarashi (Esp)!

1.2 pls

+1 Vote for a 1.2

Can you set a generator to only use coal? I want my wood reserved to convert into chemfuel, but stupid colonists keep using it when refueling generators, despite there being a stockpile of perfectly good coal right next to the generator.

I think they take whatever is closest to the pawn when it decides to do the refueling.

Would be awesome if we could get support for vanilla furniture expanded - production, so that coal can be used as fuel for the fueled smelter. Would bridge the gap between bloomeries and electric smelters when using simple chains - steel.

Hi! I'm trying to modify the scanner XML files for "MiningCo. MMS" (mobile mining scanner) to pick up the coal here, can you clarify what Coal is called in the game? Is it "WDCoal", "WDMineableCoal" or something else?

Hello Wemd, thank you a lot for your work! Could you make your mod please compatible with vanilla cooking expansion ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2134308519 ) and the stew addon?

I use all your mods (They are "Must Have" in my opinion) except this one. The reason - Coal Extended where coal not equal to tree and requires special facilities, generators etc.

Hello, @Wemd. If you have some spare time, could you make your mod compatible with Vanilla Furniture Expanded-Power, please?
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2062943477

@Wernd: You the man!

@The Bard of Hearts
Hm... Never tried it.
I think compatibility is possible, will try when have some time for it!

@Azarashi (Esp)
Oh :o
Sorry for the late answer.
Thank you! Translations are always welcome! :)
Will add it soon when have some time!

curious question. (love the mod btw). Vanilla Furniture Expanded has a "Stone Campfire". Its just like the normal one except that it doesn't disappear and can be refueled and turned on and off like a switch. Unfortunately, it can't use the coal.

Any chance for compatibility? (If not, I understand.)

@Lanthrudar @SkeleMann
Hmm... Yeah, it makes sense really.
This mod was designed to be just one more source of fuel, I didn't expect somebody would use it for steel.
I think I can invent something with charcoal, but can't promise for now, because deal with a bunch of other mods I should finish

Burnt trees should give coal (unless charcoal becomes a thing)

I wish we could make charcoal with this mod, but there are others that do that. :) Coal always seems to be the least available resource, especially when I use it with "Simple Chains: Steel". I get a ton of iron and little coal.

What's the Workshop ID?

Hello, I have translated your mod into Spanish, I leave the link in case you want to include it. Thanks for your job :)

Any chance of adding compatibility to Gloomy furniture? For the wall lamps and lanterns?

@Tellik You could always search for a mod like this one that allows you to assign fuel sources?
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1823276856

That would require me to wait for a bulk goods trader to show up, or find some with the quarry. Either way, there really isn't enough of the coal to go around if that's the only thing used to fuel things because they keep preferring to use it over the firewood.
