| | A '''block fuse''' is any [[fuse]] that burns through a [[Blockic]] constellation. | ||
This list does not include trivial fuses where a spaceship [[Fly-by deletion|deletes]] or modifies stationary objects, or engineered fuses consisting of parts that can be trivially rearranged to get different speeds. Spaceship-based fuses are known for [[c/2 orthogonal]], [[c/3 orthogonal]], [[c/6 orthogonal]], [[c/4 diagonal]], and [[c/7 diagonal]]. | |||

A block fuse is any fuse that burns through a Blockic constellation.
This list does not include trivial fuses where a spaceship deletes or modifies stationary objects, or engineered fuses consisting of parts that can be trivially rearranged to get different speeds. Spaceship-based fuses are known for c/2 orthogonal, c/3 orthogonal, c/6 orthogonal, c/4 diagonal, and c/7 diagonal.
Known block fuses
Orthogonal
2c/3 bi-block fuse
- Main article: bi-block fuse
This 2c/3 bi-block fuse is a clean fuse which consists of a single pre-beehive used to ignite one row of bi-blocks separated by 2-cell gaps. It is used in moving sawtooth 707.

4c/7 block fuse
This 4c/7 block fuse is a clean fuse which consists of a single pre-beehive used to ignite two rows of blocks separated by 3-cell gaps, similarly to the 2c/3 bi-block fuse.[1]

p36 c/2 block fuse
This fuse can ignite two rows of blocks spaced 3 cells apart, like the debris of pufferfish. Despite its common speed, it has an extremely high period. It is used in pufferfish spaceship.[2]
