Some of the other fuels could be use specific? Maybe reactive gas or petro-chemicals are going to be use to fuel vehicles? Who knows, as time wears on maybe somebody will stumble across their use...other than the inorganic component of my stim/wound packs.

If you look on the bazaar, there are a number of resources that are categorized as (Fuel). There's generally a solid petro. a liquid petro, reactive gas, and radioactives. All of the descriptions of the resource containers say they are filled with an "energetic" liquid/solid/gas (whichever). There's nothing in the description of radioactive minerals to differentiate it from a solid petro as far as use for fuel goes. Yet the petros and reactive gasses don't show up as valid sources of fuel when you want to power a harvester.


I'm guessing maybe it's something they nerfed early in beta to make fuel more scarce and they just never changed it. Maybe liquid petrols will be for cars, but I don't remember seeing any filling stations in Episode 4
