==== c/2 block fuse ====
This fuse consists of a single heavyweight spaceship used to ignite one row of blocks separated by 2-cell gaps, similarly to the [[blinker fuse#c/2 orthogonal|c/2 orthogonal blinker fuse]]. It is useful because it travels at the same speed as the known block puffers such as [[p28 block puffer]], [[pufferfish]] and [[bi-block puffer]] allowing for the construction of arbitrary-length spaceships. Note that Coe ship's side spark can also be used in cleanup.

This article may require cleanup to meet LifeWiki's quality standards.

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.

Known block fuses

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.

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.

p36 c/2 block fuse

This fuse can ignite two rows of blocks spaced 3 cells apart, as in a pufferfish. Despite its common speed, it has an extremely high period.

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.
