Coal modeled in game?

[cplprice]

Is coal as a fuel source modeled in the game or just oil? Or are the two amalgimated and just shown as oil/fuel?

Japan toyed with producing synthetic oil, but didn't really pursue it. Factories could have been (and were IRL) run on coal instead of fuel derived from oil. If Japan had concentrated on developing/exploiting China/Manchuria's huge coal reserves and building factories in China run on this fuel it would have made a big difference in their warmaking economic base. Also, if they'd cooperated with Germany, and adopted their technology in the area of developing synthetic fuel production from coal, it would have had a large impact on their fuel situation.

I think the latter, just oil.

Coal I think, comes under the blanket of 'Resources'.

I wonder if it shouldn't be split to be some fuel and some resources as you can power many a factory with coal.
