Cooking pot doesn't have light fire button
I'm trying to light my cooking pot but the button is not shown. I tried it with Thatch, Sparkpower and Wood. My campfire works fine, the button disappears when you remove Thatch, Sparkpower or Wood, and it appears if you put Thatch, Sparkpower or Wood in it, but my cooking pot won't show the button "light fire".

I'm running my own dedicated server version 200.3, I thought maybe it's a server option that disables cooking? But I couldn't find anything and googling the problem didn't help either.

Yes I've tried that, still didn't work for me. I even restarted the server a few times, still no luck ;(
Everyone else on my server is having the same problem

It's because your running v200.3 and not the latest. You see this kind of debauchery with server mods. Suddenly you cannot use an item or you can't place it and it's because there is a file version mismatch. It only takes 1 file be it server or client to be newer and bam you can't use that item.

Back in August, the month the thread was created , it was the right version.
