This means that creating a mass batch of compact soft coal increases the output of one piece of soft coal from 100 sparks to 166 sparks. Save up that coal for mass batches, folks!
Not sure what my rear-end has to do with this thread also didn’t need a summons either (was that a summons?), as I always read everything … EVERYTHING!
I’ve already added it to my todo list to get this info onto boundless crafting in an appropriate place
1 hard coal lasts for 4 burning cycles
1 compact hard coal (10 hard coal) lasts for 53 burning cycles - 13 more
10 compact hard coal coal lasts for 526 burning cycles (80 hard coal) - 210 more
50 compact hard coal lasts for 2630 burning cycles (360 hard coal) - 1210 more
math behind
1 hard coal – 4cycles
1 compact hard coal – 53 – 53-40=13
10 compact hard coal(80) – 526 – 813 + 253 = 210
50 comact hard coal(360) – 2630 – 3613 + 1453 = 1210 MORE CYCLES!!
tl;dr dont smelt with coal, smelt with compact coal, even better with MASS compact coal
