| — In-game description |
The Sulfur Mine is a world structure that automatically produces Sulfur by consuming either Diesel or Petrol as fuel.
Construction
It cannot be built, it is found in the world. Its location is indicated by an icon 
on the map.
Reconstruction
A destroyed Sulfur Mine can be rebuilt with with a Construction Vehicle and 200 Basic Materials.
At the beginning of a new war, all Sulfur Mines start destroyed, like every other World Resource Mines.
Use
Its interface can be accessed on foot or from the driver seat of a logistics vehicle by pressing E.
Sulfur Production
| Input(s) | Output(s) | Time (hh:mm:ss) |
|---|---|---|
1L x Diesel  |
9 x Sulfur  |
00:00:30 |
1L x Petrol  |
27 x Sulfur |
00:00:30 |
The mine automatically start producing when there's Diesel ("Low Efficiency") or Petrol ("High Efficiency") in its internal tanks. If it has both it will produce using all the Petrol first.
Fuel
Its internal Petrol and Diesel tank can each hold 1000L (10 cans of Diesel and 20 cans of Petrol). It can be refuelled, either by hand with a fuel can or with the "Refuel" button 
next to each fuel gauge in the interface if a fuel source is nearby.
A full tank will run the mine for 8 hours and 20 minutes.
Storage
Its stockpile can hold up to 5000 Sulfur. The production automatically halts when it is full. With Diesel, the production fills the stockpile in 4h38m and consumes 556L. With Petrol, it takes about 1h27m and consumes about 175L.
You can remotely view the amount in its stockpile by putting your cursor on its icon on the map. This is only available if your faction controls the Region Zone the mine is on.
Loading Area
You can place a Resource Container in front of the mine, on an invisible loading area, with a crane to directly transfer items in or out. In order to use it, aim the crane's arm holding the container towards the front of the Mine until the icon under the Container has a gear symbol.
NOTE: If you exit out of the structure's menu, especially if the crane used to placed the Resource Container is outside of the Resource Mine's interaction area, you are unable to re-enter the menu. This requires the player to get out of the Crane, and manually repackage the Container. Be mindful of this so that you do not inconvenience yourself.
Resistance
It is immune to small arms, fragmentation grenades, and 12.7mm machine gun fire, but not to heavier explosives.
Tips
- Every time you collect resources from the Resource Mine, you should refuel it in order to get the most resources out of it
- Sulfur Mines are one of two ways to obtain Sulfur prior to Sledge Hammers being unlocked
- While Sulfur isn't particularly useful in the early game, it is a good way to acquire sulfur for various recipes, especially equipment and materials that use them later on in the war
- While Sulfur Mines don't need to be stocked with Petrol, it is recommended as it increases resource output, especially if there's a steady source of Petrol nearby (i.e. an Oil Field producing Public Petrol in the region)
Trivia
- All World Resource Mines used to produce much faster prior to Update 1.50 (officially known as 'Inferno'), with the Salvage Mine used to having its tick speed being every second
- they now produce resources at a slower rate, but this was compensated with Facilities being introduced, which made Petrol much easier to obtain
