Overview

In-game description
An empty Can of Tuna. Can be smelted into Metal Fragments.

Keep one or two before you smelt the rest. An empty tuna can is the heart of the Tuna Can Lamp, a small wall light made from the can, a bit of wood and low grade fuel, with no bench at all. In a fresh base where nothing is wired yet, it lights a corridor or the loot room for almost nothing.

You get the can by eating a Can of Tuna. Whatever you do not need for lamps goes into the furnace with your ore and comes out as metal fragments, per its own game text. A recycler takes it too.

Like the empty bean can, its row lists a recipe of its own, 16 frags, but no player has that blueprint, so you cannot craft one. Want a lamp tonight and have no can? Eat some tuna first.
