Kitsune Fuel Saver is a small utility mod for 7 Days to Die that stops fuel from being wasted in forges, campfires, and other fuel-burning workstations. Once the crafting queue is empty and nothing is left to smelt, the fire automatically goes out instead of burning idle fuel.
The mod keeps any leftover fuel in its slot so it's ready to use again next time you light the station, rather than letting it burn away unused. Stations that don't rely on fuel, like the chemistry bench, workbench, and cement mixer, are completely unaffected.
It's built with Harmony patching and works without any extra setup. Players running heavily modded overhauls that replace workstation classes may find it doesn't apply to those specific custom stations, though it won't cause any conflicts.
This mod is ideal for players who want a more efficient fuel economy without changing any other gameplay systems.
