− | {{ | + | == 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. | ||
− | + | Even pop packs will 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 may act as a full replacement to the stationary popper. Note that colonists are still colonists, vulnerable to [[injury]], [[mental break]]s, and the [[heatstroke]] from the fire itself. | |
− | |||
− | + | Also note that firefoam pop packs require [[chemfuel]]. For many colonies, this means researching [[Research#Biofuel refining|Biofuel Refining]] alongside the actual firefoam research. | |

− | + | 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.
