In this guide we will build scaled coal power producing 9 GW of power. We will first consider where a good location for coal power is, then we will analyse the production rates of the various buildings to determine how many of each we need, then we will gather the materials for thee build and finally execute on the build. Each of the different production lines will be demonstrated and then explained how they will be scaled.
Starting with a good location. We will need coal and water as input, so any location with plenty of those will do. There is an interactive map available here: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map. Turn on only the coal resources nodes and spawn locations. The spawn location will be shown as large blue circles which will help you orient yourself. We will be picking a nice location near our spawn location with 4 normal coal nodes and plenty of water.
The next consideration is the number of buildings producing and consuming resources we will need. This is similar to finding the lowest common denominator in mathematics. We will start with the end goal;
- 1 coal generator (for now) produces 75 MW and consumes 45 water per minute and 15 coal per minute.
Now we need to satisfy those resources. Starting with the water, this can be gathered with the water extractor. This produces 120 water per minute. However, we only need 45 water per minute. So let’s increase the number of coal power plants and water extractors until the required water matches the produced water. The end result is that we need:
- 3 water extractors produce 360 water per minute and
- 8 coal power plants produce 600 MW and consume 360 water per minute and 120 coal per minute.
Now we need to do the same thing for the coal. We will be using a normal node with Mk. 3 miners. If you don’t have access to Mk. 3 miners just use whatever the best miner that you have and potentially combine the output for now until you have better miners unlocked. We will also be boosting the production of 2 of the miners to 250% using 3 power shards so that they will produce 600 coal per minute and then combine the other 2 Mk. 3 miners where one is boosted by 50% using 1 power shard so that they together produce 600 coal per minute as well. There is an opportunity to increase the overall power output to 12 GW by boosting all 4 nodes by 250%, however we ran out of space for water extraction so ultimately decided to only produce 9 GW. The end result of all this is we will need:
