Added Fire Starting Needed...

[kb0nly]

So one shortcoming i am finding after being on a long run, 33 days now, is that when the tinder is gone despite being able to gather wood and having some logs you can't make a fire... Huh??????

If i have wood and accelerant and especially a stove in a building there should be no reason why i can't get a fire going, i do it in real life without tinder plugs and newspaper!!

I think tinder should be a gatherable resource by other means. Pull the bark off a tree, gather all the small fibers and make some tinder, or if you have accelerant and a stove then tinder should not be required but its optional for a faster fire start, etc.

I also have 20 cloth from harvesting worn out clothing, cloth would be useful as tinder as well, but there is no option to use a piece of cloth to start a fire. Small pieces of cloth soaked in accelerant would be a viable tinder, as would being able to use a bit of the lantern kerosene and a match. There is just so many fire starting options that to limit to having newspaper and tinder plugs or no fire at all is a bit over excessive. In a survival situation if i need a fire i'm gonna use whatever i can.

I agree, though you CAN forage for tinder. Kind of annoying in my game actually. Trying to get cedar or fir and only coming up with tinder plugs when I already have 30

One suggestion the devs are kicking around is being able to target what youre foraging for.

IRL, You typically cannot make tinder from hardwood, you can make kindling, which is not the same thing.

i agree, more options for tender is need. i like the idea of being able to target what you are foraging for. but yes i think cloth/accelerant/wood shavings or idk if you could possibly use the cat-tails around the bodies of water....maybe even animal fur??? lol

You can forage for tinder?? Ok i didn't know that, all i ever get when foraging is reclaimed wood. I must have missed something, will have to look it over closely later.

Are you only foraging indoors?
