Def Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 One rope burns insanly long in a fire pit... Just wanted to point that out... Maybe its a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deatheater Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Interesting. I never thought of trying rope as a fuel. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeedPants Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Does it burn longer than 3 grass? Grass burns pretty well and was used for fuel by many ppl, on top of all its other uses. Hence it got nerfed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
501105 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Will have to try that, interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadias Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I find 3 poop lasts my fires from evening all the way to the dawn.Didn't even realise you could use rope, will be trying that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everlost Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Charcoal is more role-playish and more fun to collect than poops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Teemo Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 or just 2 log lol simple as that...i guess it would make sense that rop will give long lasting fire since it's made from what 3 ropes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadias Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yeah I do feel sorry for Wilson when I burn poop. Would be funny if he made a comment like 'Jesus that smells horrible' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainer_Zero Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 At the current update one charcoal will last the entire night, given that you use it as Soon as the night starts, not in dusk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Explosion Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Two Beefalo fur will get you through the night, and it's quite easy to stockpile it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Bad Feeling Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 As it seems, the actual build made it really easy and cheap to maintain a fire. What do you guys think about it? Should it be harder? It is good as it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadias Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I think making it harder could be better, I've never once not had enough fuel to light my fires and keep them going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Bad Feeling Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I think making it harder could be better, I've never once not had enough fuel to light my fires and keep them going.But I think that's exactly what the developers want, otherwise it would too punitive, since the darkness kills you rather quick and there's no way to gather resources without a light source.I don't know, but I have this feel that the fire shouldn't be a big resource consumer.

Excess Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 There are 2 things in this game that you have to do CONSTANTLY in order to survive.Eat.Make fires.The eating part is varied enough so it doesn't get repetitive. But the burning stuff is pretty boring. You have some alternatives to it but the main way most people do it is with a camp fire. If you have to spend half the day gathering stuff to burn through the night, it would get boring really fast.It may be a little bit too easy now, with the latest patch, but before it it was boooooring and repetitive. I wouldn't mind a compromise between before and now, but if it's before OR now, I say stick with it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyousterror Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Kevin said he may of gone overboard, he'll be looking to change some of the numbers this patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Bad Feeling Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I totally agree with Excess here.I also think (and already posted this somewhere in this forum) that exploring the night should be more encouraged, giving specifics rewards (items, encounters, don't know) for getting your miner's hat and go out exploring the deep darkness.

Excess Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 [...] exploring the night should be more encouraged [...]I couldn't agree more. The only thing that is worth at nights right now are fireflies, and you collect them to light your base so you don't have to worry about the night... so it kind of defeats the purpose right there.

Raveneye Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I usually just use pine cones, since I don't like to waste anything I find. I will use logs on occasion too, mostly when I have a suit of armor and everything else done that needs wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeedPants Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Currently i have an excess (lol sorry no reference to u >.<) of poo. 2 poo gets u thru the night, 4 poo pretty much gives u the biggest fire for the entire night, provided u light it when dusk is about to end, not b4. With that herd of beefalo spooning me up when i sleep in a bedroll, there is tons of poo lying just around my base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solnaga Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Before I went Leeroy Jenkins I had chestfuls of poop. Why waste grass when you can recycle right? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
