Red Roman Candle

No workbench anywhere in the chain, which no volcano or boomer can say. For Steam owners it is the one firework a benchless first night allows.

About this craft

No step of this craft touches a workbench. The candle is benchless and so is the low grade fuel inside it. Volcanoes and boomers both run through gun powder, which waits for a Level 1 workbench, so on a first night with no bench down yet, the red candle is the only firework in reach.

In reach for its owners, that is. The recipe shows up only for players who own the candle on Steam, and nobody can research it.

Per piece it takes longer in the menu than a red volcano, mostly in the fuel steps, so queue a pair before a farming run and they are waiting when you return. Once powder is flowing later in the wipe, the red boomer is the louder option.
