Coal Thumper is one of the Buildings in Frostpunk.
Acquisition[ | ]
Coal Thumper is available after finishing research Coal Thumper (Technology), then it can be built from Resources tab.
Description[ | ]
Produce 560 Coal Piles/10h (use 2 Gathering Post)
Produces coal piles that can be harvested directly or with a Gathering Post. The piles are small and created within the tile of the thumper, so you don't need to clear room around it for them to spawn. The building blueprint shows where they will go, and can be put on any side by rotating it before placing (press the mouse wheel).
Abilities[ | ]
Upgrades[ | ]
- Build Steam Coal Thumper: +560 Coal Piles/10h
- Research Coal Thumper Injectors (Technology): +15% efficiency (644 Coal per working day)
- If using Automatons check the rate that coal is being produced and the rate it's being harvested, as it's often better to have an automaton work the gathering post all day and have people run the thumper during work hours.
- Creates enough Coal for two Gathering Posts to harvest.
