Fire

A Fire is used to provide heat and ignition for smithing and cooking. After 1 minute, a normal fire will turn into Hot Coals.

Using

 * Standing on a fire will influence a player's temperature.
 * Use a Long Straight Shaft on a fire to get a Firebrand, which can light Ovens, Kilns and Forges. As well as starting a new fire by using on Kindling.
 * A fire can be used to cook popcorn.
 * Note: Cooking Skewered meat (such as rabbit, goose and Arctic Char) on a fire will result in burnt, inedible food. You must wait until the fire has reduced to hot coals to cook properly.
 * Fire can be used to destroy Milkweed Seeds
 * Using a knife on a fire will yield a Sterilized Knife, used for Medical Treatment.

Crafting

 * Use fire bow drill on long straight shaft
 * Use a leaf and transfer the ember to Juniper Tinder.
 * After 5 seconds add kindling to burning tinder to get fire.
 * A fire can be rekindled from Hot Coals by adding Kindling or Bowl of Bagasse. It can also be made by using a firebrand on kindling.

Tips

 * At all stages you must work quickly, as the ember will sizzle out after 10 seconds.
 * Juniper Tinder and Leaf will decay after 2 minutes.
 * Juniper Tinder is not the same thing as Pine Needles
 * Use Stone Hatchet or steel axe on most wood to make kindling.
 * Spent Tinder will disappear after 2 minutes.
 * Burning Tinder can also be created by setting juniper tinder alight with a firebrand, however in this case you may as well set alight the kindling directly.

Large Slow Fire
A Large Slow Fire is made by putting either a butt log or firewood into a fire, or large fast fire. After 4 minutes it will turn back into a normal fire. It is the most efficient fire as it lasts the longest.

Note:It is more economical to use firewood, since butt logs are used to create various tools.

Large Fast Fire
A Large Fast Fire is made by putting kindling or Bowl of Bagasse onto a normal fire. After 1 minute, it will die down to a normal fire. It is far more efficient to use firewood to create a Large Slow Fire which lasts for 4 minutes.

Note: If firewood is not yet available, it is more efficient to wait until the fire dies down to hot coals before adding kindling.

History

 * v.20 - Fire added
 * v.213 - Bowl of Bagasse can be used the same as kindling
