Improving Coal Gathering

Mining coal, like any resource in 7 Days to Die, requires time and depletes stamina—however, there are strategies to optimize this process.

The amount of coal you collect depends on the type and level of your tool.

By applying these tactics, you can significantly enhance your coal gathering efficiency and strengthen your resources.
