Campfire & Fuelled Stove
A little bit of balance issue maybe?

A campfire requires Construction Skill of 3 to build, whereas a Fuelled Stove doesn't have a required skill. How does that make sense? How complicated can a campfire be that you build a fuelled stove because putting a bunch of wood in one spot and setting it on fire is 'too hard'.

Why?!

I just started a new run through but nobody has a higher construction skill than 1 - so instead of building a nice little campfire to prepare my first few meals on, I have to eat raw berries until I get enough steel. >.>

It gets better because colonists can take a SINGLE piece of wood and set it on fire and build a torch lamp... but still can't work out how to set fire to a pile of wood.........

No idea why I've got crap builders. The game has not been kind to me so far. 5 pawns now and not one of them with a Construction Skill of more than 2.

The construction skill requirement system is brand new with B18, doesn't make a lot of sense, and isn't effecting a lot of objects yet. I imagine it will see heavy refinement in future updates.

I really hope it’s balanced for 1.0 then - unless they’re modifiable in which case I can play with it myself.

Why would you start without at least a 5 in each state? It's one of my only requirements for starting

It's not easy to get 3 people with a 5 in each stat. You gotta make trade-offs sometimes.

True, but construction is one if my top priorities. Crafting and art I don't care about

Sometimes you just want to roulette a start to make it challenging and not change the ones you were given at all. Or deliberately start with very low skills.
If you're going to randomise to get a decent starting group, you might as well just use prepare carefully.
