This fuse consists of a single heavyweight spaceship and 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.

A block fuse is any fuse that burns through a Blockic constellation.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
