Talk:Fuel

Addition of "Fuel" page
I think adding a page about the different fuel/heat sources in the game might be helpful. Just the different types, best uses, the efficiency table from the furnace page. I also assume it's possible that the upcoming lanterns might need a "fuel" as part of their crafting. What say you? MrMatthew 16:11, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I dont think we need that page because for the furnace fuel they are on the furnace page and for the lantern crafting it will be on the lantern page normally. Orreri 16:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I know that this data is already on the furnace page, but that doesn't mean that is the best place for it. We have a category of items that have a similar use but many different gathering/crafting styles. I think that should be pulled off of furnace and given it's own space, with room to grow, and with it's own talk page. MrMatthew 16:54, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Given that the purpose of the lantern is to provide light infinitely, without requiring the attention needed by torches (after the update, of course), I seriously doubt lanterns will require fuel in any way. Thus, fuel is a mechanic unique to Furnaces and therefore best explained there.  Else it would be two different halves of the same concept in separate pages.  We don't put the crafting recipes on their own page, do we? Jaeil 20:18, 13 October 2010 (CDT)
 * I meant fuel in the crafting, like torches require coal to be made, lanterns might require some kind of oil just in their crafting. Also, furnaces are not the only mechanic that uses fuel; powered minecarts do as well. MrMatthew 16:26, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Fuel category?
Maybe adding fuel as a category or type of item instead? The big thing I'm trying to accomplish is to show users what items can be used as fuel that they may not have known about (workbenches?!) or thought of trying (sticks). Just some kind of way for them to be linked together. This way we wouldn't create any new pages to accomplish the same goal. MrMatthew 11:37, 14 October 2010 (CDT)
 * look at the furnace page. it's there.--Kizzycocoa 16:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * ... Guys, I know that there is a chart on the furnace page. I get that. I'm talking about something linking other pages of items that can be used as a fuel source. Coal, wood, and lava all have their own pages. They have categories to link them together though, such as "Blocks". By giving them a fuel tag, they can now be browsed without knowning what exactly to look for. Discovery of new fuel sources the user didn't know. What I don't get is why there is such an aversion to adding new pages of individual items. MrMatthew 16:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
