Molotov cocktails are ranged (non-smeltable) weapons that set a 3x3 "plus-shaped" (+) area on fire where it lands.

Acquisition

They can be crafted at a machining table for Cloth 25 Cloth, Chemfuel 80 Chemfuel and 6,000 ticks (1.67 mins) of work. They are also a common drop from raiders.

Summary

Analysis

A dubious combat weapon, accuracy is poor on moving targets and damage is slow over time. Molotovs are significantly cheaper to produce and fire faster than an incendiary launcher, but have poor range and projectile speed.

Good for disposing of corpses or equipment rapidly, though be aware of flammability of nearby flooring and walls; using a large, natural area of rough stone as your disposal zone is handy and safe.

One way to defend a base using molotovs is to drop some on stone floors/walls so that enemies have a difficult time getting in and are "softened" when passing through the flame, without burning the base itself.
