Comfort Level and decorating

[vinnygunnz]

I would love it if the bonfire comfort radius extended throughout your entire bonfire protected area. As it stands now, you need to place a lot of decorative items in a relatively small compact space to get the comfort benefit. This limits some of your creative options and can make the space seem small and cramped.

It would also be wonderful if they added more decorative furniture, like more storage options, plants and potted trees, more tables, chairs, maybe a fountain or large aquarium. I think they've said more furniture is coming so I look forward to it.

For storage, I currently use wooden chests mostly. But I also use the armor mannequin, the crafting stations and even tribesman. I am hording my tech points or I would get the steel chest.

I also think they should lower some of the tech costs, especially in regards to building and decorating. These are often times not essentials, but they do need to be tested in early access and what better way to encourage their use than lowering the cost to obtain them.

It would be nice if items had larger stacks also. I have quite a few plant and animal chests. 1000 stack would be great and cut down on the number of chests in my base.

You can unlock all crafting recipes if you find and read all the tablets scattered in all the different biomes. Use the interactive map at the link below if you need help finding them, but it's been made really easy since they made it so tablets show up now in life detect Q scans.

Also, for the comfort level you can solve the small footprint issue by building floors below and above where the bonfire is. The middle floor can be only bonfire, seating and decorations, then put crafting below and cooking above.

I am only at the first Bonfire, I see the Bronze one is next, do they not make a bigger aura with tier ?

I've replaced first bf with bronze and all I got was a note saying I can have more farms and as near as I can tell, the radius didn't change. But you do get your orig bf back so that's nice.

Thanks for the link. I'm trying to do it without too much outside help but if I get desperate I will take a look at that link. I'm still finding the tech points here and there as I explore.

The suggestion to build floors is a really good one. That's exactly what I did this morning, I built a 2nd and 3rd floor. The 2nd floor is basically a walk around platform and all the heads are up there. I didn't think about doing a level below though, that's something i would have to do in the initial design but thank you so much for the idea. It got me thinking...

The base area stays the same. As your base gets bigger, it will burn through fuel quicker. I only get 26 hours with 5 stacks of charcoal. The purpose of higher tier bonfire is that you can burn better fuel. Bronze allows you charcoal. Iron allows you coal.

Not sure what steel and fine steel bonfire allow you to burn as not got there yet. Is there better fuel than coal?
