Fuel Codex

Twelve burnables from twigs to Yesterday's Sun — measured heat, phase gating, and tooltip lore.

Heat values measured on patch 1.0 launch build. "Phase" is when the fuel first appears in the shop/sky.

FuelHeatPhaseNotes
Dry Twig5Phase IThe tutorial fuel. Feels pointless by minute ten; that's the design — the game wants you hungry.
Pinecone12Phase IPops loudly. Ten in a row triggers Popcorn Chain (see Reactions).
Old Love Letters18Phase ILow heat but burns 3× longer. The first "slow burn" lesson; the tooltip says "they lasted longer than the relationship".
Wooden Chair45Phase IThe workhorse of phase one. Buy the yard-sale upgrade before hoarding these.
Cult Pamphlets25Phase IIBurning your own propaganda: +heat, +2 followers per stack. The game's politics are not subtle.
Tire60Phase IIBlack smoke slows followers unless purified — or weaponize it (see Reactions).
Grand Piano150Phase IIPlays a chord as it lands. The chord is sampled; the community is trying to transcribe it.
Used Car280Phase IINeeds two feeders or the forklift upgrade. The horn still works mid-burn, briefly.
Tanker Truck600Phase IIThe chain-reaction core. Alone it's just hot; with a tire it's a bomb.
Decommissioned Satellite1,200Phase IIIFalls from the sky on its own timer — you can't buy it, only be ready for it.
Moon Chunk5,000Phase IIIYes, that Moon. The game stops pretending to be subtle around phase three.
Yesterday's Sun50,000Phase IIISecret fuel. Feed the Sun its own yesterday. How: the Reactions page. Why: the Achievements page.

"Every fuel tooltip is funnier than some games' entire scripts."
