Coal Refining Guide

[Madorosu]

With the ever increasing demand for coal, the following idea for a new zone buff came to mind:

Coal Refining Guide
Zone Effect: +200% output
     Target: Coal Mine
             Coking Plant
             Epic Woodyard (Hardwood Coker, Pinewood Coker)
             Industrial Coal Mine
             Recycling Manufactory
   Duration: 4 hours (6 hours on friend/guild member)

This would be great and over due wouldnt mind seeing a questline done like the fairy tale and clan campaign for the epic woodyard so we could upgrade it

-1 If you are short on coal then your economy needs looking at. Might as well ask for a zone buff that buffs everything at 200%.

Personally, I am not particularly short on coal, but I do know of folks who run on quite a serious deficit, mainly relatively new players who have only had opportunity to obtain a few Recyclers to date. So, while I was browsing through the zone buffs in my star, I noticed there were zone buffs for a lot of groupings such as mines, masons, wood, food, smelters and so forth, but there wasn't one for coal and thought it might make a good suggestion.

As for the final part of your comment, I fail to see any point to it whatsoever other than a needless attempt at ridicule. It's certainly not constructive in any way.

I can only presume that you are not running the epic forge which consumes coal like there is no tomorrow.

The whole game is about balancing your productions. If you are burning more coal than you're producing then obviously you have the balance all wrong.

There are numerous ways to gain coal, from coal mines and cokers, right through to recycling plants.

Either increase coal production or reduce coal usage. It's not like you need to make swords every day.

Next thing you'll be doing is asking BB to play the game for you.

Not as easy as that and coal isnt just used for swords ...coal has to be the most widely used item in the game from making weapons to gold smelters i buy coal i use about 200k coal per day i do make some of my own but no where near the amount i use ...and if i balanced my island out to the point i didnt rely on buying then i wouldnt be able to do the things i do as i wouldnt have the items needed...without buffs most of us wouldnt cope so cant see the harm in coal having its own zone buff everything else has
