Arsoning and my bases burning down. Reasons?

[Gasil]

Me and my pals have become homeless 3 times by apparently random arsoning.

I have read that random fires exist, but, are they the only reason default houses burn down? Are there any other factors that could cause an arson? And also, if you know, such random fires can happen on player made structures or anywhere on the map?

Thank you.

Further, how high did you setup the sadistic event or sleeping event?

And which one of your friends forgot they had food cooking in the oven? lol

If I'm not mistaken, fires shouldn't randomly spawn in your world. You can occasionally come across burnt down buildings in your travels, but these are spawned that way for aesthetic; they don't randomly catch fire as you're playing the game.

One of the sadistic event is fire while sleeping because I encounter that.

That was pass electricity time so I am sure that I didn't leave the oven on.

Hello. I didn't set it up, but as far as I know, there is no sleeping event and the sadistic event must be on default.

And, since I am the damn chef on the server I might have left the oven turned on several times what the hell Dx

I see, I also haven't seen fires spawning in front of me, however, when we chose the North Farm on Mauldraugh, everybody was away from the base, and as soon as I spawned on the world, inside the big house, it was already catching on fire. Damn, I almos spawned inside a big flame.

Did it happen after you previously visited the house?

Did it happen after restarting the server or just after logging in?

What build of the game are you on?

Let's see, I am on 38.22 build.

One time, it happened on an "evented camper house", it was barricaded, with a body inside with loot, you know, like when you find a person surrounded by empty bleach bottles (but this was just barricaded). I visited it and figured I should stay there for a while since it was already barricaded; stored loot; went to search more, and when I'm back I found it charred up like a steak. So, it was on a previously visited house, didn't restart server.

The second time happened on North Farm house, we set up base there; everybody was away at the time, looting the town, I was offline. When I logged in I spawned on the house, being swallowed by flames and burning in front of my eyes. Then some sh*t exploded, I don't recall having something flamable. It was quite violent and overkill lol. Didn't restart server too, it was after logging in.

Actual fire, or just turned into a blacked-out husk of a house?

Did this happen recently or many builds ago?

Houses aren't supposed to burn when you sleep. If that's happening, it's a bug, as it'll reset all loot containers in that building and possibly remove construction.

Ow, that was long time ago -_-

Think someone might be having a giggle then. The way buildings "burn" by the metagame is just by setting a flag to change the textures / respawn the loot, there's no actual fire involved.

Or shouldn't be. That'd be pretty tragic if that changed.

Actually, you might be right, I've discovered today some shady stuff and behavior from my friends and the use of the console; I'm glad to know how "fire" on burned down houses work now. Thank you kindly. Time for some server cleansing.
