Fuse

How it works

• It is a powder cord. Fire lights it, and the burn runs both ways from the lit point.
• A longer fuse is a longer delay.
• The burning point lights what it reaches: other fuses, rockets, kegs and candles. It burns ropes and pops balloons.
• A burnt stretch cannot burn again. Fuses that touch or cross light each other.
• A fuse touches nothing else, so it can run through walls and other parts. On a rocket, its end goes on the nozzle or on the igniter on either side.

Tips

• Lay fuses a little apart unless you want them to join.
• In build mode, a selected fuse shows how long it takes to burn.
