Cannot put gas cans in the cremator to refill them

for some reason there is no way to put the gas cans into the refuel area in the side of the cremator, making it impossible to refill used gas cans and practically making the cremator useless

The gas can should be properly fitted and fixed.
The lock key is the mouse wheel.

There is a way. You have to put the cans inside manually now instead of having them snap into position. Not sure if it's a bug or an intentional change. Just pick up the can, rotate it to the cap is facing the inside of the refueler, and put it inside so it's mostly lined up with that rectangle it used to snap into. Don't need to fix it in place or anything. Doesn't have to be perfect, just has to be pointed the right direction.

Thing is ive tried that already but when I activate the valve to start filling it, nothing happens, the gas can doesn't fill up whatsoever and the gas in the cremator doesn't change either.

I mean... It already feels like the crematoria is useless. If you bother with making logs to turn into coal the coal pieces sell for more than the price of the gas you would get if you used the crematoria. Plus if you buy the gas you also get scrap metal.  It's like 4-9% better just selling the coal for the gas price and then the scrap is 10 pts vs 1 shelf. But I feel like you could sell the gas cans for more so even then you're better off using the drone. The crematoria is good for fast cleaning but the cost is early points and gas.

You mean the little coal pieces or the big ones? Because you can craft 4 little ones into a big one, and those provide WAY more gas than the 4 little ones do separately. From the massive bonfires I started using all the wood trash piles from base, TR-1 and TR-3, plus all the wood debris from all the wood gib piles and broken supply crates at base thrown into a wood chipper (along with a few unlucky mannequins), I ended up with several thousand gas, to where I needed to buy a large fuel tank just to store it all.

So here is the actual value: 
LARGE Coal Sell Price: 5
SMALL Coal Sell Price: 5

LARGE Coal Gas Volume: 32.1
SMALL Coal Gas Volume: 2

Each 1 Large Coal is made from 4 small coal.

Gas Can Store Price: 50

3 Large Coal = 96.3 Gas Volume or 0.963 Gas Cans minus the metal
12 Small Coal = 60 points or 1.2 Gas Cans WITH the metal

2 Gas Cans equals 1 scrap.  1 Shelf equals 1 Scrap. 1 Shelf equals 10 points. 1 Gas Can equals roughly 5 points in value or 3 if sold.

12 Small Coal approximate value: 64 points.

Gas Can Initial approximate value: 54

Gas Can minus metal or resale equals 50 points. 50 multiplied by .963 equals 48.15 or 48 points

3 Large Coal approximate value: 48

Approximate return increase: 33% or 12 points per 12 Small Coal.

Cost of item box has been omitted as over sufficient volume it becomes completely irrelevant.


If Small Coal or Large Coal prices have changed or if Gas Volume return has been adjusted this calculation will be outdated.
