Campfire on a wood floor?

[Spaceminnow]

Watching some Icarus video(s)...

I see them placing campfires in the shelter on a wood floor;
It should result in disaster...
I can't believe the game allows it.

[Bob Smith]

The game allows it because real life allows it. I made the mistake early on putting my campfire inside when it rained. Great fun. It can even burn down wood if it is outside but too close to the wall.

Real life allows it?
The heat transfer from "campfire" to "wood floor" is real...

The only ways to build a campfire indoors should be to place it directly on the ground or on a stone floor.

well who knows maybey its some special fire that they make or maybe because of teh conditions of that planet, that it will not burn teh wood directly. its just a game, just because it does burn down your house on earth, doesent mean its all teh same evrywhere

teh same when people start talking well i am wearing a suit and i am still getting pneumonia or whatever.

every time that nitpicking iritates me

Wait until you learn that a bee can sting you through armor and your space suit... also, destroy metal equipment... realism is not Icarus strong point at all.

The same bees that you can hit and kill with a single spear jab... yah. I know I read the pointless lore justification.

You can start a campfire on a wood floor in real life. It will eventually burn through the wood floor but there is nothing stopping you from doing it.
I made the mistake of building a campfire on a wood floor in Icarus. I accidentally stepped in the campfire. I caught on fire, spread the fire to the floor. In moments the entire base was fully engulfed in flame while I tried to learn the fire wacker and find fiber, sticks and stones in the boxes that were now engulfed in flames. This was all complicated because I was just moving to the new base and my inventory was completely full so I couldn't pick anything up. I burned to death before I could gather the supplies hehe.
I think it's great that games let you do stupid things just like in real life.

I made the mistake of using incendiary rounds to shoot bear cubs while defending/ repairing a building in a mission. It went up in flames so so fast. Now all that's standing are the 4 shutters. All the rest burnt up.

The real travesty is you can't whack them with a firewhacker.

That would be both realistic and give the firewhacker some real purpose. And of course hilariously fun and funny.

It takes 25 stones to build. I guess those are at the bottom.

[Newsush]

you can bild a camp fire in wooden area i never had my wooden base set alight the problem i guess people have is there bed to near the fire and you stand in the fire and then sets the wooden floor on fire

[Stoke]

they probably built there floor with a small area of the ground or stone poking up through and built the camp fire atop that. Ive done that. Works well.
