Thenew lighter? How to break sticks?

[Axisbold3r]

the new lighter sucks, where is the light over the survival book? Cant see anything in the dark to help me, and also how do you break twigs like it says in the book.

you break things automatically when needed. it isnt done manually. the book simply shows you the steps on what to do in what order.

to make a fire simply take the stick into your hands. then aim downwards and youll see prompts appear. stupid simple. yet still too much for the mainstream crowd.

Hold a stick in your hand and look at the ground. You can also press "R" to switch between snapping sticks for a campfire or jamming it into the ground.

Look at the ground while holding a stick, and you should see a ghostly little prompt for a campfire. Left click to break sticks, then left click again to make a full size fire. Light it with lighter. Then if you want to make it more complete, put rocks in your hand and it'll let you place a ring around the fire.

While I figured it out pretty quickly I still accept that it's not necessarily intuitive and it's also a completely different system from the first game. No need to act elitist because you came to the right conclusion faster than someone else.

i mean. the book. it TELLS you the order. like. takeing a stick in your hand is the 2nd thing i tryed after pressing confirm on the blueprint first. given its BUILD option and thus is probaly not done via the inventory its just logical conclusion.
it might not be SUPER intutive but hey. not everything has to be in the first place. otherwise you could turn your brain off when playing. calling that elitist is just stupid. asking people to use thier brain is not elitist in the slightest.
like who feels offended when asked to use thier head when playing?

I think the important point is building often requires you to have something in your hand and point it where you want it to go. Same thing with logs and planks. Building block ♥♥♥♥. Pretty much everything ran through the book in The Forest, so I was confused until I realized what they were going for this time.
