Yes, but you may need to build a bigger fire.[/quote]
If my little crafted campfire idea (should it make it’s way into the game thanks to some nice coder), a fireplace or any other fire you build not be enough to keep you warm, maybe we need to add a radiant heat reflector to the crafting too? - Just a metal sheet and a couple of chunks to prop it up should be all that’s needed to form a big one, even less metal for something smaller & lightweight - a couple of cans perhaps, or maybe just a log in the right spot - though a reflector’s in-game mechanic of throwing the heat back opposite to placement I don’t even wanna think about…
Barring that there’s always the options to either stand near lava or empty a gallon of gasoline on the floor & light it - both guaranteed to warm you up sharpish!
[quote=“Sentinel, post:16, topic:4620”][quote=“Fish, post:14, topic:4620”]WAIT! Before you go make a campfire make a camp fire make sure it is isolated!
Otherwise nearby brush may catch fire and toast you. (I’ve done it before with lighting bushes on fire to make a insta fire to cook meat.)[/quote]
[quote=“John Candlebury, post:15, topic:4620”]Why not just carry a brazier around?
Not that i actually do that, I often just light nearby bushes on fire and roast a few pieces of meat before it becomes a raging inferno, If i still need more food I just move to the next bush.[/quote]
Smokey the Bear must love you guys XD

Uhhhhh while we are on the topic of fire don’t light gas pumps…
My friend however loves to. Hes over kingdom come and hes not in an airplane.
EDIT I found out about nearby brush catcing fire when I went to sleep next to my fire… In the end not a good idea.

You could just, you know, smash all the bushes/small trees around you. Takes much less time and energy than digging a pit. Well, in game anyway, it would probably take more button presses player-wise.
I usually just set a big stick on fire if I need a convenient fire to cook from unless I have the Mini-Flamethrower bionic. In which case I just go home and cook at my ENTIRELY METAL HOUSE.

Oh you lucky! I can’t even make it far enough into surviving to even think about building a house!
For crafting-grade fires I currently use a single skewer. Weighs almost nothing and a single skewer will burn long enough and hot enough to grill some meat and boil some water.
