Quick summary
Burner devices are devices that consume burnable fuels to operate instead of relying on electricity. Devices that consume other types of fuels (e.g. uranium fuel cells) are not considered "burner devices". Fuel slots can be filtered in the same way as a player inventory slot (Middle mouse button by default) to restrict the device to one specific type and quality of fuel per slot.
Burner devices are commonly used early in the game before an electric system has been constructed, and as a source of electricity before more advanced methods of power production have been researched. Burner devices can also be used later in the game in remote locations where electrical power would be difficult to set up. Burner devices tend to be significant sources of pollution.
All vehicles except the spidertron are burner devices.
In Space Age
, the prohibition on using burner devices on space platforms
only applies to devices that use combustion-based fuels, as there is no oxygen in space. While the biochamber
is a burner device, it burns nutrients
rather than using direct combustion, so they may be placed on space platforms.
Devices which happen to be using a fuel item as an ingredient in a crafting recipe are not considered burner devices. For example, a chemical plant making plastic bars consumes coal, but chemical plants do not count as burner device.
Burner device may refer to:
- Burner inserter
- Burner mining drill
- Boiler
- Heating tower
- Stone furnace
- Steel furnace
- Biochamber: May still be used on space platforms due to not directly "burning" its fuel.
- Locomotive
- Car
- Tank
