The '''firefoam pop pack''' is a [[utility]] item that releases a non-damaging explosion of [[firefoam]] on command, putting out fires, preventing the spread of other fires, and reducing the [[flammability]] of pawns in the area to 0%.

== Acquisition == 
Firefoam pop pack can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each requires {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

They can also be purchased from [[trader]]s and found on [[Outlander]] and [[Pirate]] [[raiders]].

== Summary ==

Firefoam pop packs are worn on the [[utility]] slot. When used, it creates a 5.9-tile radius of [[firefoam]] when used, and extinguishes any existing [[fire]]s in that radius. The pop pack can deploy 1 charge at a time. Once used, it must be reloaded with {{icon small|Chemfuel}} 30 [[chemfuel]].

[[Pyromaniac]]s have no objections to wearing or using the firefoam pop pack.

{{Utility Note}}{{clear|left}}

== Analysis ==
As fire extinguishers, the pop pack is much cheaper than a [[firefoam popper]] (which requires the full {{Required Resources|firefoam popper}} per use), but has a much smaller radius. The popper is automatically triggered when near fire, but the pop pack must be activated by a pawn. In general, the popper is best at protecting your warehouses, while the pop pack can be deployed anywhere, a trait helpful in combat. 

Note that firefoam pop packs require [[chemfuel]]. For many colonies, this means researching [[Research#Biofuel refining|Biofuel Refining]] alongside the actual firefoam research.

=== Combat ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=AI used needs expansion once Summary is complete}}
Firefoam packs are useful in any combat situation involving fire. Pawns lit on fire will stop shooting and run around wildly, all while taking damage. An unlucky [[inferno cannon]] shot can lead to the death of several pawns, through direct injury, reduced DPS output and the ignited pawns running out of cover and into enemy fire. Deployed firefoam sets flammability of nearby pawns ''and'' tiles 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. Additionally, a single pack carrying pawn can cover several nearby pawns so they can carry other [[utility]] items. 

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.

=== Firefighting ===
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. 

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.
