Making a fire directly below yourself is possible

[madprogrammer]

It is possible to place a fire directly below yourself on the ground, and then the player will fry himself and die from burns in a second. I believe such behaviour should be considered a bug, and placing a fire too close to the player should not be possible.

Version: V.183

Visibility: Always

Is this from a fresh run (and if so which mode), or is it being played from an older version save file?

When possible, please attach F8 screenshot(s) and/or output log file in order for devs to trace issues easier.

This was one of the first lessons learned for me when I tried to make a fire inside Alan's Cave - always make the fire in front of you and step back when it's lit just to be sure

Just reproduced the behaviour with a fresh game, debug log attached. Sandbox mode, Voyageur experience level, Mystery lake region. The picture illustrates the player looking down to the ground, almost directly above the fire, and the wood is green, showing that's a valid place to make a fire. Expected behaviour: the game logic doesn't allow placing fire in such places by showing red-colored wood.

Thanks

And when you lit the fire, you were burned when lighting it correct?

(I ask because there were 2 old occurrences of that bug previously which were fixed each time, but it's possible the safety radius for lighting was missed again - so trying to determine whether it's the same bug or a different one)

[madprogrammer]

Correct, after the fire starts burning, the health decreases rapidly and the player dies

This was fixed at one point but I believe it created other issues placing fires. My suggestion don't light fires on your feet.
