House caught fire and unable to discern why
I had just woken up on a Wednesday and was ready to spend the day around the house to blow through it since I have read that if you do save on Wednesday Teimo will not restock the store and this wouldn't be even half as annoying if this wasn't the case. I looked at the new fuse box, fiddled with it for a second, couldn't figure out the fuses but just flicked the switch on and off said "oh neat, I can actually just not use power now." then left to the wood pile to spend the day chopping. Came back to house engulfed in flames. The tv was not on, the sauna was not on, the stove was not on, the computer (if it can even cause a fire) was not on, the fireplace had no fuel and was not on, the satsuma in the garage was not on. Literally nothing in my house was on including the lights, the only thing that was on was the lantern on my desk as it always has been for emergency light since this games runs on advanced darkness at night but as with my experience the full time playing and as I have also read it cannot cause a fire. I even tried flicking the fuse box on and off and fiddled with all of the fuses to see if that had for some reason turned something on but it does not. Is this a bug or am I just missing something here?

Edit: I have come back after some testing to see if I could recreate the fire first without the lantern on and messing with fuse box same as I did before and left the game running while standing at the wood pile as I made food. No fire then, so I went back turned on the lantern and went back to the pile to eat my food while watching some videos letting it run again to see if the lantern was the culprit; no fire then either. I genuinely don't understand what caused this, this has to be a bug right?

You don't mention the weather. Was it storming by any chance? There is a low chance a lightning strike on the house can cause a fire.

There is a possibility the fuse box could cause a fire, but it was added just hours ago so there is not enough experimenting done with it. I do know fiddling with the fuses with power on can kill you, tho.

No it was not storming out when the fire was started, I couldn't even say where it would've started because by the time I came back the whole house was on fire, though wasn't fully burned down as I watched each room burn before my very eyes. I'll keep trying to mess with the fuse box to see if it is the cause but I don't even know, I feel like they would've mentioned something like that in the changelog.

ive notice that if you mess with the fuses. like twisting them in and out and the lights don't work properly. (ex not all the lights in the garage work. same with the living room.)
