Can't light fires anymore?
I really like the new layout for the UI, it is a bit confusing with the extra choices, but I am old.

I used to play this with my 6 year old, we had a great base on The Island. I tried Ragnarok and for some reason the campfire does not give the option to light?

is there a new click option I am unaware of?

Poor little guy is bummed out we cant cook food, make metal, nothing without being able to light fires.

Any help?

Are you using mods? This is a mod problem preventing the vanilla fire to not have the light option.

This needs to be fixed. I'm sick of people asking "Did you put fuel in it"? Yes, there's freaking spark powder in the camp fire. There's spark powder in the forge. Etc. Yes, I've tried wood. Yes I've tried thatch. I've lit many fires. I know how they work. I had a fire going when I left, which burned out while I was logged off. I added materials back and no "Light Fire" button appears. The hot key shows only "Access Inventory". I emptied the fire burning containers and refilled them. I'm nowhere near water AND I'm in a building. I logged off and logged back on. I verified game files, and 2 were downloaded and nothing was fixed. I have no mods. Patting my head and rubbing my tummy is just as successful - I still cannot light a fire. The button object should appear when material is added, but it does not. Hoping, a server reboot will resolve it, at least.
