also yes… this is happening to me, right now, in ‘freshly downloaded latest experimental’
your method worked, but i had to throw in and burn SIX HUNDRED tinder before the logs turned into ‘burnt logs’, which is the actual fuel source that stoves and fireplaces use. thats not normal.
what you are doing is immediately spawning a stage 2 fire, that wont be instantly put out, that then becomes a stage 1 fire by the decay bug that is currently happening, and any easily burnable fuel is wasted, long burning fuel then continues to fuel the fire for as long as it lives (which is still far less time than it should be, for a fire.)
