− | + | Firefoam packs are useful in any combat situation involving fire. Pawns lit on fire will stop shooting and run around wildly, which can be very dangerous. Deployed firefoam sets flammability to 0%, which prevents fire from happening at all. Unless it is [[rain]]ing, the firefoam will stay on the ground until a colonist actually cleans it up. | |

Enemies can also wear firefoam pop packs, using the pack whenever they are near or on fire. This can lead to the amusing situation where enemies will constantly try to light your [[crop]]s on fire, just for it to be extinguished by the firefoam. | Enemies can also wear firefoam pop packs, using the pack whenever they are near or on fire.

Pop packs deploy enough firefoam to completely douse small fires, such as from [[lightning]], [[short circuit]]s or even [[incendiary shell]]s, so long as the fire hasn't spread. As long as you can get a colonist to the fire quickly, then the pop pack can act as a full replacement to the more expensive popper. | Pop packs deploy enough firefoam to completely douse small fires, such as from [[lightning]], [[short circuit]]s or even [[incendiary shell]]s, so long as the fire hasn't spread.

However, colonists are still colonists - vulnerable to [[injury]], [[mental break]]s, and the [[heatstroke]] from the fire itself - so are less reliable in practice. The firefoam popper is automatically triggered. The pop pack also takes up the utility slot, which can potentially be an issue. | However, colonists are still colonists - vulnerable to [[injury]], [[mental break]]s, and the [[heatstroke]] from the fire itself - so are less reliable in practice.
