The Sulfur Mine is a world structure that produces Sulfur when fueled by either Diesel or Petrol.
Refueling[]
A mine can be refuelled by hand (by equpping a fuel can, then holding LMB) or by using a Fuel Tanker, it is much quicker to use a fuel tanker.
Whilst fueled, it dispenses Sulfur into the inventory at a constant cycle. Fuel type does not change the speed of a cycle, only the amount produced.
A mine can holds up to 1,000 liters (or 10 cans) of each type of Fuel.
Mining function[]
All mines function the same except in some key variables. They all take 1 unit of Fuel to create 1 process which creates a set number of resources based on the fuel type. They do not work faster on Petrol but simply create more resources in the same time resulting in saved time.
- At low efficiency (with diesel) 2 sulfur is put into the inventory every 4 seconds.
- At high efficency (with petrol) 3 sulfur is made instead every 4 seconds.
This means that 1 full can of diesel produces 200 Sulfur and 1 full can of petrol produces 300 in the same time. It consumes an entire can of a fuel type in 400 seconds (or 6 minutes 40 seconds).
Resource Collection[]
The sulfur produced can be retrieved by hand using Left Click on the sulfur icon on the right side of the Mine's interface, one stack at a time. From the driver seat of a truck you can use Shift + Left Click to retrieve 3 stacks at a time.
There is an invisible loading area in front of the mine that allows to place containers to transfer resources directly, similar to the loading area at a Refinery. To find the exact spot, simply aim the crane's arm that's lifting the container near the front of the mine until your cursor becomes a gear symbol.
Tips[]
- Check a mine's inventory and fuel status from the map by hovering your mouse pointer over the mine's icon.
- The Sulfur Mine creates Sulfur and is the only early game way to acquire Heavy Explosive Materials for Howitzers until the sulfur can be acquired by mining.
