FIRE???

How do i craft a fire? It feels like the crafting system is broken

Some things are bound to not work since it's pre-EA. You should create the improvised fireplace once you get all the ingredients and then light the fire up with a lighter, matches or an improvised fire drill. Maybe a piece of cloth will be required as well. It all depends on your survival skill level.

Crafting system BROKEN??

Chicken Little often?

PRE-EA game.... PRE-EA game.... PRE-EA game... PRE-EA game...

Please expect issues and don't raise the 3-alarm fire alert over it.

Nothing is -BROKEN- so much as it is ALL a WORK IN PROGRESS.

Hence - "development".

Sigh... broken.

More than one way to skin a cat...

i applaud your passion to make an in depth crafting system. but its messy right now. making a stone axe takes an act of congress right now.

I had matches on my character but couldn't light my fire, not sure if it was broken or I was doing something wrong but I gave up quickly and just ate raw foods

I haven't had any issues with making fire..... even found a lighter to make it easier....

you have to actually SELECT the item you want to light the fire with.... ie... matches or lighter. Once you have it highlighted (red) you can then hold F on the fire and click Light.

You need to select both on your inventory menu (they turn red when selected), then right click on the improvised fire (or whatever) and select light fire.

I assume that the matches are 'BROKEN', i tried to make a 'HAND DRILL' and it worked pretty good. The storage box is broken too i think

yeah brah find a big ol bush, cut that ish down, find stones around it, and make a fire pit jon. You dont even have to pick the crap up, its just chilling in your vicinity part of the inventory TAB SCREEN. Oh, I forgot! u gotta have some matches or a light to make it go up! hahaa Im pretty sure it goes so deep as to let you make tinder and do your thing but lighters and matches are in erry town no Lie!

I am having the same problem but slightly more alarming:

I have no "improvised fireplace" crafting option at all. I checked the "tool" category and the "search" in the crafting menu. Nothing. Do I need to raise my skill somewhere? Am I missing a mechanic that prevents you from being able to craft the fireplace from start?

You should start your own thread, this one is 5 years old (a lot changes in that time).
They will probably lock this thread pretty soon.

You should have the option to create any of the fire options without any skill level. Just pick one, place it where you want it and collect items to craft and light it.
