Fill Your Personal Reserve Before the Wasp Tank
Picking up a fuel canister does not complete the demo's refueling process. For players searching ATMOSFAR how to refuel wasp, the recorded sequence has two stages: consume the canister into your personal fuel supply, then transfer fuel from that supply to the aircraft. Keeping those two destinations separate is the key to understanding the interface.
This guide follows recorded player experience in the earlier public demo. The developer's official Wasp 101 blog establishes the liquid-hydrogen fuel system, but labels its footage as alpha material; later interface details may change.
Use a Fuel Canister and Check Transfer Direction
In the demo tutorial, the player is instructed to select a canister in inventory and hold the consume action. In the recorded keyboard run, the player uses F for that action, then sees the fuel added to the personal supply.
After that:
- Go to the Wasp's fuel interaction.
- Check the displayed player supply and aircraft tank.
- Transfer fuel from the player into the Wasp.
- Confirm the aircraft's fuel level before departure.
If a transfer seems to be going the wrong way, look for the direction or cycle prompt in that interface. In a community report about the demo's refueling UI, a player says that discovering the cycle action resolved their confusion over which way fuel was moving. The developer acknowledges the feedback and ongoing work on making the interface clearer.
That report does not establish a universal keyboard key for cycling the direction. Read the prompt in your version instead of substituting a guessed binding.
Make More Fuel With Hydrogen Crystals
Canisters are not the only documented supply. The Wasp blog explains that aircraft use liquid hydrogen, while naturally collected hydrogen crystals need processing in a hydrogen refinery. It identifies hydrogen geysers as common places to find the crystals.
The complete demo run puts that loop into practice:
- Gather crystals with the extractor when the journal directs you to the hydrogen area.
- Deploy the Camp Hub and crafting table.
- Craft and place the hydrogen refinery using the displayed recipe.
- Load crystals into the refinery and let it produce fuel.
- Transfer hydrogen into the personal supply, then transfer fuel to the Wasp.
The demonstration includes a 100-fuel objective. That is an objective shown in the demo, not a stated universal tank capacity or a promise about production speed. Use the recipe, power status, and output displayed by your game rather than assuming a fixed conversion rate from this guide.
Verify the Tank and Aircraft Before Leaving
The recorded player checks the Wasp's tank more than once while moving fuel between the camp, personal supply, and aircraft. That is a useful final habit: verify the tank you intend to fly with, rather than judging readiness by the number of canister items you collected.
Keep repair separate as well. The developer explains that aircraft damage can increase fuel consumption and impair handling. A full tank does not fix a damaged engine, so inspect the Wasp if a rough landing preceded your refueling stop.
One comment in the refueling discussion suggests a different relationship between jetpack use and aircraft fuel. Treat that as a player's design suggestion, not proof of an implemented fuel rule. The supported procedure here is the personal-reserve-to-Wasp transfer demonstrated in the demo.
FAQ
Why doesn't picking up a canister fill my Wasp?
In the recorded demo, the canister must first be consumed from inventory into the personal fuel supply. You then transfer that fuel into the aircraft.
How do I change the fuel-transfer direction?
Check the cycle or direction prompt while accessing the tank. A demo community report identifies that action, but the collected source does not establish one universal binding for it.
Can I make Wasp fuel instead of finding canisters?
Yes. The official blog and demo describe processing hydrogen crystals in a hydrogen refinery to produce the liquid hydrogen used by the aircraft.
Is 100 fuel the Wasp's tank capacity?
The available demonstration uses 100 fuel as an objective. It does not establish that number as the universal tank capacity.
