FAQ
How long does wood burn in ICARUS?
One Wood burns 1 min in a campfire, firepit or fireplace, so a stack of 100 lasts 1h 40m. In a torch it lasts 25 min (41h 40m per stack). The wiki gives the same times.
What is the longest-burning fuel for a campfire or furnace?
Per item: Hardened Magma (13m 20s), then Packed Fuel Brick (6 min) and Coal Ore (4 min). Furnaces and stoves on the same burn row as the campfire should match (≈ estimate: the wiki only confirms campfires, firepits and fireplaces).
Which fuels leave charcoal?
Wood, Refined Wood, Stick leave Charcoal when burnt (the by-product is in the game data; the amount is computed in-game).
Can I burn charcoal in a campfire?
No: charcoal is not a campfire fuel in the game data. It fuels the Forge, Dehumidifier, Smoker.
How long does a Biofuel Can last?
4h 10m in a Biofuel Generator and 2h 5m in a Biofuel Deep-Mining Drill (10 L at 2.4 L/h and 4.8 L/h).
How long does coal burn?
One Coal Ore burns 4 min in a campfire, firepit or fireplace (6h 40m per stack of 100), 4× as long as Wood.
How we compute this
Solid fuel burn time
seconds per item = UnitsProvided (D_Transmutable) ÷ GenerationRate (D_Generator)Wood gives 150,000 units (150 kJ) and a campfire burns 2,500 units per second (2.5 kW): 60 s. A torch burns 100 per second: 25 min. The wiki states the same times for wood, coal ore and fiber in campfires, firepits and fireplaces, and for wood in torches, so those are cited. Furnaces, stoves and other devices on the same or a similar burn row use the same formula but are not separately confirmed: their times are labelled ≈. Rows with another fuel ratio (candles, deterrents, the Nuclear Reactor) are computed in-game.- Source: ICARUS wiki: Wood —
