Fire chance - cedar and stick

[Vinceofpyrenees]

Is that normal that a piece of cedar and a stick provides the same fire start chances ?

I have the feeling it wasn't like this before.

It has always been the same for me.

I also vaguely seem to recall this. Maybe it was in an earlier version of the game, or maybe once your fire skill goes up a bit it becomes easier with a stick. I distinctly remember always using a stick instead of a piece of wood before (but maybe that's just because I thought you lose the fuel when fire starting fails).
