The Forest: Fire

The Fire tab contains all kinds of fire sources.

The Fire tab, as can be easily guessed, allows you to create various types of fireplaces. They, in turn, are used as a light and warmth source (you need to stand closer to a fireplace to warm yourself), as well as allow you to cook meat. Additionally, a burning fireplace reduces the chances of a mutant attack (because they are afraid of fire), however, on the other hand, it can also lure a patrol group (especially during the night) towards you. You can (and should) build a fireplace (for instance, a Standing Fire) in front of you camp entrance (surrounded by walls), which should effectively prevent unwanted guests from entering your base.

To maintain the fire you will need leaves, or (in extreme cases) cash - you just have to throw them into the fire and it will allow the fireplace to burn (the more you throw inside, the longer it will stay lit). A fireplace is harder to maintain during the rain, which is why you should have a plentiful supply of leaves at your disposal.

In the current version of the game (1.0), it is possible to build 4 constructions from this chapter. These are:

• Basic Fire - a simple, cheap to build fire, which, however, cannot be rekindled again, so it's useful only as a makeshift source of warmth and light.
• Fire Pit - an "upgraded" version of the previous one. It's a lot more "expensive" to build, although you can relit it up to two times, making them more convenient to use.
• Standing Fire - it allows you to illuminate the surrounding area. It can also be used as a trap of some sort - the Mutants will be set ablaze whenever they will try to go through it, whereas you can simply avoid being damaged by the fire by moving under it, by crouching. The only fire where you cannot prepare meat.
• Bonfire - the largest fire source available in the game, as well as the most expensive to construct when it comes to raw materials. It is capable of burning for 24 hours. It gives the biggest fire of all the fire sources, which is why one must be extra careful when choosing a location of it - placing it too close to the exit of a building can effectively block it.
