Automating a Coal Supply for Your Machines

Creating a Renewable Coal Loop

Many automated contraptions and machines require regular coal to run, which normally forces you to mine underground. By combining surface forestry with bulk haunting, you can establish an automated, infinite supply of coal.

1. Harvest logs from tree farms above ground.

2. Smelt the logs in bulk (using bulk blasting or a standard furnace setup) to produce charcoal.

3. Route the finished charcoal directly into your Create mod bulk haunting processing line.

Delivering Coal to Machines

Position your bulk haunting station along your item transport network:

1. Use mechanical belts or chutes to funnel charcoal into the haunting airflow.

2. Allow the charcoal to linger in the stream until the bulk haunting recipe finishes converting every piece into standard coal.

3. Direct the resulting coal out of the processing zone using chutes, hoppers, or brass funnels.

4. Route the coal directly into the fuel inputs or material inventories of the machines that require regular coal.

This continuous line keeps your machines supplied without requiring any manual mining expeditions.
