− | The '''firefoam popper''' is a one-time use [[ | + | The '''firefoam popper''' is a one-time use device that extinguishes fire within a 10 tile radius. It can be triggered by [[fire]] coming within a 3 tile radius or it can be activated manually by selecting a colonist, then right click it and tell them to trigger it (similar to the [[Power switch]]). Once activated, it will spark for about two seconds before it bursts into a spray of [[Firefoam]]. It is capable of extinguishing walls on fire, though the walls will block the foam from reaching any further. Pawns on fire will also be extinguished. The explosion does not damage structures or colonists. |

Firefoam poppers can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}. | Firefoam poppers can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed.

− | + | The residual firefoam prevents fire. This provides very effective protection against [[inferno cannon]]s and any other type of incendiary weapon. To intentionally leave firefoam in place, remove the [[home area]] to prevent colonists from [[Menus#Clean|cleaning]] it up. The area would also need to be roofed because rain and snow quickly wash away firefoam, in about two game hours. Although firefoam fireproofs an area, it makes for an ugly environment. Firefoam indoors has [[beauty]] of -25; outdoors it has beauty of -7. | |

+ | The Firefoam popper is best used when put in warehouses, as it will prevent your valuable items from catching fire and burning. | ||
− | + | Firefoam poppers can be re-installed, so you can keep a large number of uninstalled units stored, then, when needed, simply install one near a fire. This can help extinguish large areas of fire efficiently, but it is a rather expensive method. | |
