Fuel is at a premium. They nerfed fuel spawns across the whole game. Go check out what a metal fuel can costs on the flea, it's like 5-6 times what it is from Jaeger. With how expensive bitcoins are right now (over 650k as of this morning), there is a ridiculously high demand for fuel and a very low supply.

Basically, you're not going to get fuel from Jaeger unless you're sitting there when his stock turns over. He'll sell out in less than a minute.

Yea I've had to buy fuel on the flea market because I have no time to play these days (just enough to log in, sell my bitcoin of the day and buy fuel).

So I'm right in that vendors have a global supply limit. I guess I've just been lucky in being able to buy fuel from him on his stock resets.

Is it economical to buy the mats off the flea market and make fuel in your toilet?

It's cheaper than buying it outright (I think) but it's still spendy. The best thing is to just buy from Jaeger and/or do the blue fuel barter with Therapist.

You're limited to 1 each per restock and you have to catch them before they sell out, but an L3 generator can have like 4+ days worth of fuel in it and I feel like people are really overstating how hard it is to catch the restocks given you have days to do it a few times over the course of multiple days once you have your baseload.

I was going to make a comment about how you can guarantee its eventual profitability by just doing the low rouble options repeatedly (which is true), but that even though moonshine/intel often feels largely breakeven or slightly negative EV I still like the option to gamble for quest items/random gear

but my scav box just came in and (though it's not quite as good a pull) lol:



(the intel used was from a previous moonshine-based run - intel is definitely the highest risk/reward option, since the items it favors tend to be either nearly worthless or worth mega-roubles)

Set a timer, alarm goes off, watch Jaeger rolls over, then click on him. no fuel tanks in stock. Check the flea market and it says restock in 1 HR 24m. I'm so confused

the roll over happens 30-45 seconds before the timer rollover.

while the price of propane has shot up significantly, the 2x propane + fuel conditioner trade at Prapor will still be much better than direct flea prices (especially if you buy low), and isn’t as crazy timing wise as Jaeger is

I need to stop stocking up every time though, I’m currently sitting on a multi-week supply (almost entirely from Jaeger)

can you believe it costs 4 pineapple juices for the blue fuel now? the price of gas these days. just feels like such a hokey bandaid solution, given that just yesterday it was 3 or something, raised earlier this week from 2.

If you are buying grey fuel for 700k, with a level 1 10 slot bitcoin farm you are still making 180k a day from bitcoins lol. They're so dumb. But you can fairly easily get the barters.
