Spent Fire Extinguishers

[Ragosta tin Dei]

What do you do with em? Should I toss em? Can they be recharged?

[wkitty42]

i just throw'em away... i don't remember ever reusing them... mainly because i needed the storage space for other things after they were empty...

They cannot be refilled as far as I know. Just toss them somewhere where you don't see them again and that's it.

Being able to refill them would have been a nice touch. Maybe the recipe could have been like 1 fire extinguisher + 1 brain coral or something.

But as it is now, they're junk. Construct a trash can and discard.

It would be nice to be able to recycle them, maybe 2 fire extinguishers for 1 titanium.

Discover the garbage can, build it, remove them.
You only need 4 for the entire game unless you keep setting your cyclops on fire and it has an upgrade for that.

You need 1 for the pod you start in. You need 3 for the Aurora; you don't have to put out all the fires, just enough to get around and there are around a dozen fire extinguishers for that.
There's no point in saving them, they can't be mounted, refilled, or even used as decoration.

I was thinking just drop them in the nearest heat vent and you'll never see them again. (I hear that also works for magic rings.)

Actually, unlike magic rings, they will just lie there on top of the magma.
If you really want them out of the game, build a Trash Can and transfer them into it.

Personally, since the largest number I use is inside Aurora, I just drop them wherever I empty them.

[admiral1018]

I will usually put spent fire extinguishers in the Aurora inside of the duffel bags in the crew quarters. This prevents them from potentially clipping through the floor and contributing to any slowdown.

Actually, Admiral, you are one of the few people in the fan universe that I can imagine that being an actual problem that you must take precautions against.
