The Block fuse is a [[fuse]] of burning [[block]]s, it burning at [[c/2 speed]]. Because it’s burning at [[c/2 speed]], so it can used for [[p28 block puffer]] and [[pufferfish]], But it cannot be used for [[Bi-block puffer]] (its variant can used for the [[Bi-block puffer]]).
A '''block fuse''' is any [[fuse]] that burns through a [[blockic]] constellation.

In other rules

In Grounded Life, there is a simple reburnable fuse based on blocks and a beehive, which evolves into a line-of-six spark. It is the basis of most technology in that rule, and there is a rich and growing toolkit to control it.
