Compacted Coal

Compacted Coal is an improved version of Coal made by combining it with
Sulfur. It is used in a small number of alt recipes, particularly most versions of
Turbofuel, or can be burned in a
Coal Generator. While it does not directly generate more power than regular Coal when burned, the burn time is more than doubled (from 4 seconds to 8.4 seconds), meaning a given amount of Compacted Coal per minute can run over twice as many Coal Generators.

Unlocking
It is one of two MAM researches to cost a Hard Drive, due to formerly being an alternate recipe.

Tips
- It takes exactly 7 Coal Generators at 100% clock speed to burn 50 Compacted Coal per minute. This is not immediately obvious due to one generator consuming about 7.143/min.
- Sulfur used to make Compacted Coal is the rarest resource only behind Uranium, which should be taken into consideration before building large-scale production.
