Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recipe?

Five coal are converted into two wood in four seconds.

When is it unlocked?

The recipe is unlocked by the vanilla Advanced Material Processing technology.

Can it be crafted by hand?

Yes. It uses the standard crafting category, so it can be crafted by hand and in compatible assembling machines.

Does productivity affect it?

No. Productivity is explicitly disabled to preserve the intended coal cost.

Does this work with an existing save?

Yes. The mod has no runtime state or migration requirement. Enable it and load the save normally. If Advanced Material Processing has already been researched, Factorio reapplies the technology effects when the mod configuration changes.

Does it require Space Age?

No. It depends only on the base game and can also be used when Space Age is enabled.

Does it create an energy-positive fuel loop?

No. The output wood has far less fuel value than the coal consumed.

Does it include custom graphics?

The recipe uses the vanilla wood icon and adds no custom in-game graphics. The packages include the approved original 384 by 384 BerbCorp portal thumbnail for release presentation.
