because explosive schematic here, i have already pulled smoke bomb recipe from magazine.
is it worth holding out to for a pipe? Or does the convenience of Fire Bomb prioritise its recipe? On Electrical 2, and could rise. So waiting for a pipe bomb tempts me. Yet if there was a gen mag, then i could use Fire Bomb to great effect.

Any notable changes to the detonation of these weapons?

The problem is finding the materials for it. Does anyone actually use any of this legacy, long forgotten stuff?

Fire bombs are allright, take care not to engulf yourself, throwing is very inaccurate to say it lightly. If you do like bombs and contraptions, i highly recommend this mod:

sparklers are more common now in upmarket bars, i'd maybe whole out for the aerosol bomb, it makes hair-dresser loot somewhat worth it, hair-dressers and a swanky bar should fund a an aerosol bomb economy

Pipebombs for PVP
Firebombs for PVE

Pipebombs don't One Shot Zomboids but will absolutely destroy players

Players can put themselves out with water but Firebombs are basically upgraded Molotovs which are already a good tool to use on Zomboids

B41 I would find a lot of whiskey and bottles to use, but I find a lot less now, so I have been using pipebombs more

Rare loot setting in B42 are comparable to B41 Extremely Rare loot settings

As a result you'd need to bump up loot distribution setting to have the same amount of loot as to what is in Stable

id probably prefer to drink my alcohol in fights to be real, Molotovs can be made from gasoline anyhow, they are slightly safer on accidental detonation.
if the gen mag pops up and i have a job for it i'l schematic the fire bomb. because it used to require no lighter, not that i am short on lighters, but its abit more convenient.
If not i'l hold up for some pipe bomb or aerosol, i don't know if the pipebomb mag will pop up if there is one. Seems a waste of schematic if i end up with a mag of what i spent it on.

I looted some firecrackers aswell could be feasible to set some off at the location of a timed or remote explosive. in which case Pipe might be preferred. Have yet to use a smoke bomb in 42 aswell, but i guess it all adds up to potentially hitting the checkpoint with quite decent kit

Found a bunch of firecrackers in the ekron college, inside student lockers. Haven't found them anywhere else.
