Lighting a fire is difficult

[Febe]

It is difficult to light the fire by quickly pressing the F key and it could damage the keyboard, it would be enough to hold down F for a few seconds

I don't know if you can program a key on your keyboard or mouse, but if you can, just spam the heck of "F" and that will work!

even if I quickly press the F key the bar does not fill up, from what I read, I'm not the only one having this problem

There is a command you can use if you open up the tilde key which is under the ESC key. Some commands come up. There is 'start fire' and 'put out fire' (not sure the exact label they have) and unstuck is another command you can use. None of the other commands are usable at this time.

Ok thanks, start.fire works fine :)
for now it will be enough

Yeah this ♥♥♥♥ is annoying. A timing based or Input commands on the screen is far better.

I don't want to abuse my keyboard with tapping F like crazy.
Please remove need for tapping the F
We all know that it takes effort to light a fire, but this is game and it should be enjoyable.

In Green Hell I like to light a fire and I still know that in real life that would need effort.
I hate the tapping fast functions, since it is unnecessary abuse of keyboard and makes lighting a fire annoying. Game should not make me feel annoyed.

Also some people say that this and that feature is copied from this and that game.
I don't mind if game copies great features from other games, since all games have something great and if you want to make really good survival game, then copy good features from other games. From my point of view, it is preferrable :)

But for a such small thing as lighting the fire, it seems to be big issue for me. I hate tapping keyboard constantly. If you don't want to lose that, then make it an option that user can choose which way it works.

Other than that. I hope your game will succeed :)

Look at this post I did from before. It saves the smashing the F key.

Making a campfire, as well as keeping the fire burning, is one of the main mechanics in survival games. Therefore, this process should not be easy! Thanks to the developers for the difficulty!

Don't know if this will suit you, but as you light more fires, it is not as hard, but still needs pressing the F key, just is quicker & not as many clicks. I too would prefer a different way to light fires & not abuse my keyboard as much. Cheers.
