Coal (tons, base price $150) is extractable fossil fuel — primary combustion input for energy and a meaningful input to manufacturing.
Market behaviour
Prices blend 75% global supply/demand with 25% regional pressure and drift toward equilibrium at 6% per turn. Shortages compress downstream margins logarithmically; surpluses hand sellers a premium on the same curve.
Because Coal is an extractable resource, per-state output is capped by state resource capacity. The live distribution below shows each country's current capacity alongside supply and demand.
