The firefoam pop pack is an utility item that releases an 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 Machining table once the Firefoam research project has been completed. Each requires Steel 20 Steel, Component 1 Component, Chemfuel 30 Chemfuel and 1,200 ticks (20 secs) of work.

Summary

Creates a ?-tile radius of firefoam when used.

Has 1 charge. Must be reloaded with 30 chemfuel each time.

Analysis

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. Useful for the diabolusContent added by the Biotech DLC in particular. Unless it is raining, the firefoam will stay on the ground until a colonist actually cleans it up.
