Description

Fuel is anything that keeps a fire going.

Usage

Fires can be fueled by activating the fuel and then selecting Burn on the fire's right-click menu. Alternatively, leaving the fuel inside the fire till the fuel decays from fire damage also works.

Burn time is dependent on the QL of the container and the total weight of the fuel being added. As a guide, 20 kg is the maximum effective amount of fuel. Any more fuel added above that amount will still be accepted and burned, but will not add to the burn time.

• Birch wood is 2x more effective than non-birch wood (1kg of birch = 2kg of fuel)
• Tar is 8x more effective than non-birch wood (1kg of tar = 8kg of fuel)
• Peat is 4x more effective than non-birch wood. Peat has a default weight of 10kg. (1 x 10kg of peat = 40kg of fuel)

Types of Fuel

• Any wood products (except starter kit wooden shields)
  • Kindling
  • Logs
  • Wood scraps
  • Tools
  • Furniture
• Peat
• Moss
• Tar
• Olive oil
• Cotton and cloth tailoring products

Messages

Examine a fire container to check how much fuel is remaining.

• The fire blazes with great intensity and shows no signs of stopping.
• The fire burns steadily and will still burn for a long time.
• The fire burns with wild flames and still has much unburnt material.
• The fire is starting to fade.
• A few flames still dance on the fire but soon they too will die.
• Only a hot, red glowing bed of coal remains of the fire now.
• A layer of ashes is starting to form on the glowing coals.
• A few red glowing coals can be found under a bed of ashes.
• The fire is not lit.

Notes

• As a general rule of thumb, when "the fire burns steadily" (with most fire containers), you have at least 30 minutes from the time you examine and see that message to the time the fire burns out.
• As the fire begins to die out, any items in the fire container will begin to cool.
