A Fuel Pump device is a way to provide a fuel source for vehicles. They can also be used to deal considerable damage to players and the environment when destroyed.
These devices can provide infinite amounts of fuel, or have a limited amount of fuel available.
You can set the device to be indestructible during gameplay, or deal damage to a certain team or class of player. For example:
- In racing games, players can refuel their cars like drivers do in Nascar or the Grand Prix.
- For team matches or games that use classes, players can have their own fuel pumps.
- In skillrun games, players have to complete a task before they can use the device.
Finding and Placing the Device
Click image to enlarge.
- From Create mode, press the Tab key to open the CREATIVE inventory screen.
- Click the DEVICES tab. You can scroll to select the device, use the Search box to look up the device by name, or the Categories in the panel on the left.
- Click PLACE NOW to place immediately, or put the device in the QUICK BAR to place later.
- Press Esc to return to your island in Create mode. Use your phone to position the device, then click to place it. Press Esc to detach the device from your phone.
- Point at the device with your phone. If the CUSTOMIZE popup doesn't open immediately, move closer until it does, then press E to open the Customize panel.
If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be helpful to rename them. You can choose names that relate to each device's purpose, so it's easier to remember what each one does.
Contextual Filtering
Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This feature will reduce clutter in the Customize panel and make options easier to manage and navigate.
However it may not be easy to recognize which options or values trigger contextual filtering. To help you identify them, any values that trigger contextual filtering are in italic. All options will be listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option's value, there will be a note about that in the Description field for that option.
