{{Quote|This is only the beginning.|'''Rock Bottom''' [[Achievement]] description}}

'''Fuses''' are [[items]] found in gated rooms in [[The Mines]]. They are required to progress, and serve a similar function to [[Room Key|room keys]] in [[The Hotel]].

== {{Icons|Usage}} Usage ==
''Fuses'' must be inserted into [[Generator|generators]] found in gated rooms in The Mines. They can be found in item [[Containers|lockers]], on top of wooden tables, inside wooden drawers and inside toolboxes. When all necessary ''fuses'' are inserted and the generator is turned on, it allows the metal gate in the room to be opened after pressing a button next to it, letting the player continue to the next room.

=== Notes ===

* If there are no containers in the room for ''fuses'' to spawn in, they will instead spawn on the ground in front of the generator.
* Usually, 2 ''fuses'' are required per generator, however in some cases only 1 or even 3 are required.
** The number of fuses required is not random but solely depends on the room (e.g. the long 8-door generator room always requires 3 fuses, the very small generator room always requires 1 fuse etc.).
* Only the necessary amount of ''fuses'' will spawn in a room (e.g. if a generator needs two ''fuses'' to be turned on, only two will spawn in the room)
** Multiple players can pick up the same ''fuse'', however once the picked up ''fuse'' is inserted, it will be removed from every player's inventory.
* ''Fuses'' will have a blue light around them when found inside item lockers, and will eventually be illuminated anywhere by [[Guiding Light]] after enough time passes.
* ''Fuses'' only take half as much [[inventory]] space as other items, and will have a striped line under their icon in the player's inventory.

* The generator found in [[The Dam]] already has all the ''fuses'' placed in, and the player just has to switch it on.
** This is the only instance of a room having a generator, but the player not needing to find any ''fuses'' to progress. (In the Pre-Mines Nerf Update, it used to be empty, requiring the player to collect the ''fuses'', this was later patched in the Post-Mines Nerf Update due to complaints to the players that this was "annoying"  and too "long")
* There is always a generator in [[The Adit]], with 2 ''fuses'' missing.
* You can't place ''fuses'' in the rift.
* After a small patch made on 2/21/2025, ''fuses'' now emit the [[Guiding Light]] shimmering noise

== {{Icons|Bugs}} Bugs ==

*''Fuses'' may glitch out and spawn out of place of a [[Containers|Container]], it might spawn behind the container which causes in the player to be unable to collect the ''fuse'', resulting in the player getting softlocked.
*''Fuses'' could also glitch out and spawned in locked lockers or chests. If players have no [[Lockpick|lockpicks]], it will result in the player being softlocked.
