I was discussing some of the more esoteric chem recipes with some friends and it occurred to me that farts ( and even general purpose methane ) are not one of them. Considering all sorts of hobo chem can be done with odd table scraps, unsightly fluids and unorthodox recipes, I think it would be nice to have fart / methane as an alternative fuel with a few odd production methods.
The idea being that in a pinch, one could perhaps get a few extra seconds use out of a welder or a lighter, at the cost of very loudly announcing their position and the conspicuous text. Small amounts of fart could be collected with the emote, maybe only 1-5 units randomly.
Additionally, it should be possible to synthesize in larger quantities by mixing carbon and hydrogen in a container in the presence of synthflesh as a catalyst ( not consumed, but really how can you make a fart without meat ). Perhaps adding more trace gasses like nitrogen, oxygen and compost to make "fart" versus just methane.
I saw that one other member had already suggested something about air hookups and ripping into them, but it seemed useless other than for gross-out factor. I think treating methane as a combustible gas or chem would actually add something to the chem system, and it's not that much of a stretch considering the use of urine and compost in jenkem.
