Light Fuels
Light Fuels is a fuel from Voluminous Energy. It is a gaseous fluid. It is burned in the Combustion Generator and the Gas Furnace, and can fuel multitools in the Tooling Station.
This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2).

Light Fuels is a gaseous fluid: in the world it flows upwards instead of downwards, and you cannot drown in it.
As a fuel
Combustion Generator
Light Fuels is rated at 64 FE/t. The Combustion Generator burns 250 mB at a time for 1,600 ticks, so a bucket lasts 6,400 ticks. The oxidizer multiplies the output:
| Oxidizer | FE/t | FE per bucket of Light Fuels |
|---|---|---|
| Compressed Air (uses 250 mB per burn) | 64 | 409,600 |
| Oxygen (uses 125 mB per burn) | 128 | 819,200 |
| Dinitrogen Tetroxide (uses 25 mB per burn) | 256 | 1,638,400 |
Gas Furnace
In the Gas Furnace, 250 mB of Light Fuels lasts 6,400 ticks, enough to smelt 32 items (128 items per bucket) without an upgrade.
Obtaining
- Dimensional Laser: chunks in some climates yield Light Fuel.
