Coal
A raw resource used for fuel, steel and industrial processing.
Its competing power and material roles make coal a good project-level planning resource rather than an isolated output row.
When it fits: Set a target after choosing whether the immediate goal is power, steel or a downstream process.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 6 and lists 5 Biomass at Constructor; 4 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. Mining and transport are part of the sustained supply; using coal in one branch reduces what is available to another.
