Fire Suggestion

[MtDewFella]

Make Animals/Monsters afraid of fire so it can be used to ward of attacking animals. In actual survival half the reason it's so important to start a fire before it gets dark is to ward of wild animals. Early in the game if you get attacked you can only run, which isn't an option at night as you can't see where your going, being able to take refuge near a fire would be useful for surviving this game (man this island wants you dead.)

Spiders get a little scared with light but its not a complete protection, that would make survival too easy.

Well can they at least cause the fire to do damage, so if a monster walks over you fire pit, they take damage, or you could use a tourch as a weapon?

Nope, what you can do is burn a forest to kill all the monsters inside it, but that would probably leave you without any loot.

I could see there being some kind of special monster that gets weaker in the light, but not everything should be like that.

Gameplay over being Realistic.

Craft a torch and run away until they give up. A torch is the first thing I always craft anyway and I never go anywhere without one in my inventory. The fire mechanics are fine in my opinion.
