Base Burned Down

[Crono The Adventurer]

Not really a discussion, just a forewarning to anyone yet to have it happen. A single fire attack can literally get your wooden base burned down in seconds without the ability to stop it
EDIT - Holy cow, the first thread of mine to get so much attention and it's people debating about burning and firefighting. Nice. XD

yes you can: ... cant post a pic on imgur now? whats with the internet again...
Pengullet is the answer. probably other water types too, but mine just sprayed the burning stuff, and all was good ^^

I had a two story house dude, and it was reduced to vapor in seconds. Even if I'd had the pal you mentioned, I'm not sure it could've saved my house.
Tho I will try to keep an eye out for that pal in the future. >3>

We had tons of water pals, our entire multi story house burned down in seconds as well. A water pokemon can spend maybe 10 seconds extinguishing one block, while fire can spread to hundreds of blocks in less time than that.

Did you ring the bell?

Try stopping things outside your base. You can see the way the enemy takes early and intercept them. Later on you can build gates... Every part of houses (foundations, walls, roofs, doors,...) are cheap to produce. LAter on you first get gates to protect the ways they use and buy you time and even further in you get stone as a building material. So it is only a problem when you are new and inattentive or not at your base or near a teleporter. From lvl 10 onwards it becomes easier and easier.

Not entirely sure what the devs were thinking with this, without warning or without any means to stop it your house can just burn down in a few seconds and kill all your progress randomly? Its clearly not intended to be this way but if they havent yet implemented proper tools to actually prevent or stop this the feature of fire spread should just be disabled.

Just turn off Raids in the Custom settings if it worries you that much

I have raids turned off, but then a Pal just wandered through my campfire, it caught fire, and then it wandered around and caught my entire base on fire, hahaha. I rebuilt everything, and now I'm off to look for a water Pal. I wish we could spray water like when we water our crops...that would really help. also I hope we get stone buildings

You do; even concrete... it's further down the tech tree

The worst part is I don't know which pal even started the fire in the first place. I don't think it was the raiding pals that caused it cuz I don't recall seeing a fire pal among them, and I only had two out at the time, but again, I have no clue what triggered it.

JUST happen to our base idk where it even started. wasn't a raid going on at the time. was upstairs putting an egg in the incubator and heard breaking. went downstairs and the multi-story base was on fire and falling to pieces. i can count the number of seconds it took on my fingers.... guess i didn't realize we had built our base out of rubbing alcohol... but pretty sure alcohol would've taken longer to burn. had multiple water pals outside working all had rank 2-3 in watering

i haven't had a base burn down but I have had a wood defensive wall catch fire. Compared to what you are all saying about wood foundations. The walls maybe burn a lot slower (or you're all exaggerating)

But you can also put out fires yourself by going into disassemble mode and dissembling the burning structure. You regain your structure costs and the fire is gone

It's not exaggeration. I think in the case of the defensive walls, they are just naturally beefier compared to the housing panels
After all, I did notice my storage boxes took much longer to burn than my house did.

I burned my house down with a torch by accidently stabbing it a few times while trying to build something in the middle or the night. Did not know my own fire could burn houses

same also the bug assigning pals to a spot works(after restarted) I even seen transport move the items from sites
