About

A Fireplace icon.png Fireplace is an Ignitable Structure used to cook or boil Foods. It has room for 4x items and either a Clay Pot icon.png Clay Pot or Copper Pot icon.png Copper Pot. A Fireplace is also a Secondary Source of Fire, so items such as a Torch icon.png Torch can be lit from it. Standing next to a lit Fireplace will raise your Body Temperature and help prevent Hypothermia icon.png Hypothermia.

As a Fireplace burns down it builds up Ashes (right display meter), as long as there are Ashes certain Foods can be cooked inside a Fireplace. Ashes continue to smolder for some time even after the open Fire has burnt out. An open Fire icon.png Fire is required for cooking most other Foods or boiling. Food cooked over a source of Fire lowers your Insanity a little and has a chance to give you a Gelatinous Lard icon.png Gelatinous Lard.

Building Structures

Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure.

Each material is followed by a series of three numbers.

  • The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited.
  • The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure.
  • The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure.

Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future.

Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
