Setting Up and Operating the Coal Mine

Locate the Coal Mine Entrance

The working coal mine is positioned just outside the main castle gates. Look for the mine entrance near the base of the mountain, adjacent to the fortress walls. The entrance should be clearly marked and accessible from the castle grounds.

Understand the Mine Layout

The mine includes:

• Digging shafts where coal ore can be found and extracted
• Storage areas designed to hold mined coal
• Miner's quarters with a bed and basic furnishings for the worker

Extract and Store Coal

Use a pickaxe to mine coal ore from the designated veins throughout the shafts. Transport your collected coal to the storage area. The mine's layout guides you toward efficient collection routes. The miner's home provides a base of operations and storage space.

The mine demonstrates a functional medieval resource extraction setup, complete with workspace and living quarters integrated into a single structure.
