Hi guys !!! :) 

So, You make fire for 5 hours in game and it will give you some warmth. you sleep for 4 hours. 1 hour fire will give you the same amount of warmth. 
Shouldn't fire warmth bonus decrease with fire duration?

That would suck. for example: if you have to sleep outside and you make nice little 9 hour fire and then sleep and die of hypotermia because the fire would give less heat when the night goes on...

Also, it doesnt really work like that to begin with - the fuel in a campfire stays warm for a long time, but how long it burns for mostly depends on how thick the logs are, how much "raw fuel" can be burned for a while. What I mean is charcoal and coals in the fireplace - the old, burnt out fuel stays warm because it is being constantly reheated by the newly burning fuel. Imagine barbeque - you dont want it to burn for a long time, you just want to heat up the old, warm fuel (charcoal) to a hot enough point where you can grill on it. 

Of course over the time the temperature would go down. But that cant happen in TLD, because it would make blacksmithing incredibly annoying/impossible.

Problem comes when the raw fuel runs out. Then the fire cant burn anymore, and the old fuel wont be kept re-heated, and the campfire will start quickly lose the temperature.
