How long does a campfire burn for and does it burn while I’m gone?

[Trtlman]

I am wondering if I need to get on every day to make sure I have a fire so no one messes with my stuff. Kind of stupid you need a fire going even though you have an actual beacon as well and you plot your land. I have it on PS4 in case anyone is wondering why it shows I don’t own it and yet I’m asking questions.

Hi there,

If you have a Beacon with fuel in it, you don't need to worry about your campfire. This is used as a temporary way to claim your first bit a of land on a new world.

Your beacon should be fuelled for 4 weeks with the basic beacon fuel, so no need to log in every day to check on your things.

Thanks, and this beacon will cover my entire plot? I have a huge plot.

[I Also Banana]

Yep! You have to plot the spaces next to your other plots, so no need for 2, unless you want to beacon somewhere else as well

I know "huge plot" is relative, I have a mere 280 plots in one claim, and I know that is a tiny amount compared to some other players.

What I really like is the simplicy of the system. I questioned the need for campfires being left in, but can see from the youtube videos that leaving that part in along with it's tutorial was a really good thing. The only constructive critism I have is maybe make the timer label on the campfire twice as big?

[Trtlman]

Thanks a lot developer, and I must say this is one of the best PC to console port ever. There hasn’t been the issues most of these games have when going over to console. If I do beacon somewhere else is there a way to teleport between beacons?

Campfires will last for 24 hours I believe if you don't fuel a beacon near them, if the Beacon is in the same connected plots with the campfire, it will burn as long as the beacon is fueled.

[TECHNOMANCER]

Token, campfires last 2 hours only. Hover over it and you will see timer

[TECHNOMANCER]

Trtlman, to go between beacons use warp conduit blocks ... It costs 100cr to go between two on the same world, more for other planets, distance related costs.

[Trtlman]

Grimm Liberty the developer said I don’t even need the campfires with the beacon

[TECHNOMANCER]

I understand that. Sorry for the confusion, I was replying to Token's post. I editted that post for clarity.

[Trtlman]

Awesome, thanks everyone for the help

Hey Steggs101 are you guys planning on fixing the iron problem? There is like nine on my planet and a quick google search shows me a lot if not everyone is having this problem. I play on PS4 so make sure whatever patch you create works for it too.

Iron is supposed to be rare on starter worlds. It's not a problem. You need to travel to a Rugged World.

I travelled to a rugged coal world and explored some caves and found a lot of iron, I think the name was Gravidas Se or something like that. I also encountered a level 1 meteor fall and defeated all the critters for the first time and picked up some oort stone. It was one of my best outings yet.

I have no idea how to travel. Is it the same thing as going to market? Someone gave me something that enabled me to go to the shop hub.
