Can't light a campfire.
I got sticks i got rags,(also tried tree bark) why the heck this ♥♥♥♥ doesen't want to get lit, nor in the fireplace nor on the floor.
Have they changed the way fire works?

I placed a fireplace inside an oven in a house and had to move around a bit until I got the prompt.
Thanks.
So i still should be able to light campfire with one rag and one stick?

The basics yes...One stick + One paper/rag and you have the fireplace and it should light. One stick wont last put at least 5 and keep tossing them in and you can cook and such for a bit.

you can't make fire on the floor inside (most) buildings anymore but the fireplace should work.

is there a limit for how many times you can light a campfire? Because I have everything set up and it still not lighting up, I don't know if windy conditions play a role in whether a fire can be started but I tried every item that you can use to start a fire and not a single one has worked.

If you're trying to light with matches; they won't work if they're damp.
