Fire inside house?

[kongkim]

Hi all, im new to the game.

I know your house can burn down.
But are there any way early on to place a firecamp inside to avoide that?

Also what to avoid to not set fire to a house?
Can i place standing tourch inside?

The campfire and fire pit both work fine inside a wood building. Just keep them spaced away from the walls they might catch on fire and don't ever step on them yourself while they are lit.

Standing torches are the easiest interior light source to use so of course you can place them inside. Like was mentioned just keep them away from the walls. What I do is I put a fire pit in the center of a 3x3 building with all the work benches around the edge and then place a standing torch on either side of the fire pit. It lights up the whole building great.

I've burned down a few buildings by placing wall torches too close to the ceiling. i haven't had any issues with the standing torches. Also, standing in or walking through a campfire is not good. Tends to spread fire everywhere you go. Don't tell my friends who I sometimes play with that I've done that. o.O. Good luc!

Thx all, i got a small wood house with a fire inside, bnot burned down yet :)
But i really would like to know what is "too close" to the wall.
Has anyone tested out or made a video to show it?

If i build a 1x1 area with no floor and a camp fire in the middle but put wood railings around it.. will it burn?

When starting out, I build a wooden 1 x 1 off the main house (with a floor and ceiling), 3 walls are facing the outside and the one connecting to the main structure is a windowed wall. I can place one or two campfire, or one firepit in the 1 x 1 without any problems. The window opening allows me to reach through the window to access the fire while also assuring I won't accidentally step in it and set myself on fire :). It's a trick I learned from watching Ecco Dolphinhyo's playthroughs on YT a while back.
