Coal to Wood Recipe

Coal to Wood Recipe adds a deliberately lossy, automation-friendly way to produce wood when the nearby forests are gone or should be left standing.

Recipe

• 5 coal becomes 2 wood
• 4-second crafting time
• Crafted by hand or in machines that support the standard crafting category
• Unlocked by Advanced Material Processing
• Productivity is disabled

Design intent

This is a convenience recipe, not an energy loop. The output has far less fuel value than the coal consumed, and the crafting time keeps large-scale production costly. It provides renewable access to a useful construction material without adding new entities, resources, or runtime systems.

Compatibility

• Supports existing saves
• Depends only on the base game
• Works with or without Space Age
• Uses only data-stage prototypes
• Adds no scripts, settings, migrations, or persistent state
• Includes the approved original BerbCorp portal thumbnail; the in-game recipe icon remains vanilla

Separate packages are prepared for Factorio 2.0 and 2.1.
