Description

Coal Fuel is the high-energy product of IndustrialCraft 2 Experimental's coal-to-fuel pipeline for Minecraft 1.12.2. Players typically refer to it as Coalfuel and to its container as a Coalfuel Cell, the bottled output of running Coal Cells (hydrated coal cells) through a powered Extractor. Once you have Coalfuel Cells, you load six of them into a Fuel Can using a Canning Machine; that filled Fuel Can then burns inside a Generator and yields roughly 76,440 EU per can, far more than the same coal would produce if burned directly. Alternatively the fluid form can be used in a Semifluid Generator, which is designed specifically to consume Coalfuel and similar liquid fuels. Coal Fuel is therefore the energy payoff at the end of the coal cell chain: cell production lives in the Canning Machine, conversion lives in the Extractor, and energy capture lives in a Generator. Because IC2 Experimental periodically reshapes this chain, always consult JEI in your specific 1.12.2 build before locking in a layout, and over-provision empty cells so the line never stalls waiting for containers.

How to use Coal Fuel in IndustrialCraft 2

1

Produce Coal Cells

Pack hydrated coal dust into empty cells using the Canning Machine to obtain Coal Cells (H. Coal Cells) as the input for Coalfuel.
2

Extract into Coalfuel Cells

Run the Coal Cells through a powered Extractor; each one becomes a Coalfuel Cell, the bottled form of Coal Fuel.
3

Fill a Fuel Can

Load six Coalfuel Cells into an Empty Fuel Can with the Canning Machine to assemble a full Fuel Can ready to burn.
4

Burn in a Generator

Place the Fuel Can into a Generator. The full can yields roughly 76,440 EU before becoming empty again.
5

Or use a Semifluid Generator

Alternatively pipe liquid Coalfuel into a Semifluid Generator, which is designed to consume Coalfuel directly as a fluid.
