In-game description

The Sulfur Field MapIconSulfur.png is a type of Resource Field where Sulfur SulfurPlaceholder.png can be manually collected.

Description

Sulfur Fields are one of two Rare Resource Fields in which the harvested contents can be refined into Heavy Explosive Materials at a Refinery. Like all Resource Fields, mining there will yield way more Sulfur than a Sulfur Mine. It is composed of a large decorative center piece that can't be mined and smaller Sulfur nodes strewn around it that you mine. Sulfur nodes are mined by hitting them with a Sledge Hammer, or Harvester (hold Left Click). Unlike Salvage Field nodes they cannot be mined with a Hammer.

Their locations are always shown on the map, they are randomly selected by the game at the start of each war and doesn't change for the whole war.

Sulfur Fields cannot be destroyed.

Use

The Sulfur Field starts with 30 nodes spawned on the ground, and 167 more in its reserve. When a node on the field is harvested, a node from the reserve will spawn in after a few seconds. The amount of nodes left in the field's reserve can be seen by hovering your mouse over a field's icon on the map (only if your faction owns the Region Zone it's in) or by pressing E on a field's large center piece. The appearance of the large center piece also becomes more depleted the fewer nodes are left in reserve. Once fully depleted, the field replenishes after 80-140 real life minutes (depends on player population). If you mine the reserve nodes till around 20, the number shall drop suddenly to zero and then respawn counter starts. If the field is left with nodes (after resetting), they shall add to the spawned number, i.e, you can have fresh Sulfur Fields with more than 167 nodes at start

When mined, a node splits into two smaller pieces which themselves split into even tinier pieces. Fully mining one node yields 154 Sulfur by default, meaning an entire field is worth more than 30,000 Sulfur.

Stationary Harvester

Up to 3 Stationary Harvester (Sulfur) can be built by player next to a given sulfur field. They automatically retrieve sulfur from the field's node reserve at a slow pace and consume Heavy Oil. Hovering the cursor over the field's icon on the map will show you how much resource is currently stored in the field's Stationary Harvesters.

Resource Transport

Collected Sulfur can be transported to a Refinery to be refined.

Resource Containers can be brought by Flatbed, Barge, or Freighter then unloaded with a Crane at a resource field to be manually filled with raw resources. The container can hold way more resources than Trucks.

High Yield Nodes

Rarely a Field spawns a High Yield resource node. They are identified by a bright light on top of them and yield a much higher amount of resources for the same mining effort
