Description[ | ]

Combustible is the name used for items that will burn as a fuel source for both a Camp Fire and a Forge. This will allow the player to melt scrap inside a Forge, in addition to cooking food on a Camp Fire. Some items are, of course, easier to get hold of than others, and this should be considered before burning rarer items. All items have a relatively reasonable burn time based on the item itself. A single piece of Wood will burn for 10 seconds, which is reasonable, as mature trees can drop hundreds of Wood. A Lump of Coal, while able to be harvested in almost the same amounts, will burn for 20 seconds.

Quick Tip[ | ]

  • As mentioned, some items are easier to come by. While Books burn for twice as long as Wood, Wood is much easier to acquire and should be used preferentially.

Combustible items[ | ]

Below is a table that details all known combustible items that may be used as fuel.
