Fuel

"We don't drive enough for FUEL to be a concern for cars, but we may want it for making firebombs."

Fuel is one of the 5 resources in State of Decay. It is mainly used for making incendiary weapons and traps.

Usage

• Fuel is an ingredient for making various explosives such as firebombs, Flame Fougasses and Chemical Incendiaries.
• Outpost option "Set trap for passing hordes" extends safezone size around all outposts. The effect lasts 1 in-game day and costs 1 Fuel.
• The DLC Lifeline allows the player to consume Fuel to put Propane Tanks around the base to defend against zombie sieges. It is also used to power the Generator; however after the player completes the upgrade to Solar Power, Fuel is no longer needed.

Finding Fuel

Fuel does not have a lot of uses, is never automatically consumed and can be infinitely created; thus, the lack of fuel is the least of the player's worries.

• Food Storage's Create Biodiesel ability converts 3 Food into 3 Fuel (requires research at Library)
• Each Fuel outpost increases daily Fuel gain by 3. However the outpost's supply cache will eventually run out.
• Fuel can be found in jerrycans or barrels in gas stations, warehouses or construction sites. Bringing a rucksack of fuel back adds 5 Barrels of Fuel to resource supply.
• The DLC Lifeline allows the player to request packages of Fuel to be dropped, using the Landing Zone
