You realize that items like the luxury fan, ice staff and water balloons can extinguish fires, right?

Yeah I definitely agree that the range that wildfires can happen should be reduced so that they can't happen offscreen as you're leaving an area, hence the other part of my reply.

I hate Oasis and Wildfires for personal reasons, there's no cheating in living there, it's just really annoying and boring like others said if you plan on staying there every Summer.
It's either that or caves for most if Wildfires are enabled (or basing with Flingos and keeping a watchful eye out with precautions on hand if you're caught out during daytime outside of those two).

Some of the responses here reminded me of a talk I had at some point back in the day where Wildfires should only happen in a smaller radius around the player similar to the Flingomatic's range and only if the player stays in the area for a certain amount of time or something.

Every day is another day of crossing fingers for a Summer Rework update.

I don't like oasis since it's most of the time far from ponds, i want to have it close to refill watering cans in more seasons than just summer.

Obviously it's not technically cheating, but removing a whole summer mechanic for no real effort feels like cheating.

I know people are split on wildfires, but this shouldn't be the stop gap solution to fixing them, just like getting Ancient Guardian stuck on pillars wasn't a solution for his fight being bad at the time.

i dont feel like im cheating when hear hounds and need to fight them at night without minerhat/cc crown (and sometimes there is no time to summon a star if you need to leave the area cuz pens or builds that migth be affected by the hounds). Plus not being able to travel throw the dessert at night using a walking cane

i know is a cheap price compared to core structures and materials burning but having a small camp with a couple of flingos have even less risks and costs

If "cheating" makes you have more fun and doesn't bother others then you're playing properly.

[Thrul]

Should never rework work summer it's supposed to be chaotic

Scaled Flooring coupled with an Ice Flingomatic. Really, that is all there is to it (if somebody insists on making a fireproof base in an arbitrary location above ground). It gets even simpler with Above-Average Trees, if you stick to the coast. If you are familiar with the game the required resources are fairly easy to come by. Now comes the complaint that Scaled Flooring looks ugly.

Heck, currently it is even possible to set up a whole base out at sea using Knobbly Trees and Dock Kits that will be sheltered by the canopy. Might be a fun project to try, although this is a more ambitious and resource intensive endeavor.

Yes. So is using a seat belt.

i wasnt talking about protecting a small base which is as simple as you have explained. My answere was towards "luxury fan, watery can and ice staffs exists", they cant extinguish a fire if the player can see it

Even if it was cheating, it would be worse than playing normally depending on the goal, lol
