Obtaining

How To Obtain By leveling up the campfire to tier 3.

Usage

The Campfire is a constantly depleting fire that provides a safe zone for players by scaring off The Deer, Ram, Owl, and any wild animals chasing you (although if you attack animals while in the safe zone, they will enter the camp to attack you back). Note that Cultists can always enter the campsite. Being near the fire increases players' health regeneration, increases their visibility, and negates the freezing debuff from snow / blizzard events. The fire can be used to cook raw food and recharge Flashlights. The campfire will level up when enough fuel is added (Logs, Coals, Fuel Canisters, etc), from level 1 to Level 6. Each level increases the size of the map that players can explore as well as the range of the safezone effects. The final level depletes slower & is more resistant to rain and snow. Each level requires more fuel than the previous level. Badges will be awarded to players the first time they reach fire levels 3 to 6.

Upon Burning Out

The Campfire constantly depletes, and will deplete faster during rain and blizzard events. If the fuel level reaches 0 there will be a message saying "The campfire has gone out, you are no longer safe" Which incurs several dangerous penalties: The Deer's chance to spawn increases to 100%, and it will spawn as a Hungry Deer (except on the first night). The Deer can spawn inside the Stronghold. The Deer and other enemies can enter the "safe" zone around the camp. Players health regeneration drops to zero (unless you use a bandage or a medkit, or if you eat food that gives your health) The Map is not accessible and the on-screen campfire icon disappears (making it really difficult to find again if you were out exploring). The cold ashes cannot be used to cook food or recharge flashlights. The instant the fire is relit, all debuffs turn off and the Deer will be scared out of the safe zone (if it was there).

Weather

Main article: Weather Effects The weather is a constantly changing modifier that can quickly deplete your fire if not checked on. The more levels the Campfire has, the less it will be affected by the weather.

Campfire Level

The campfire level can be upgraded by filling the Campfire Bar to 100% using flammable items, such as wood or coal. The more players the party starts with, the harder it will be to fuel the campfire.

Campfire Upgrades

They are consumable Flames obtained through the Supply Crate. Granting various buffs to the Campfire once applied such as guaranteeing certain events or increasing spawn rates of certain things. Only three flames may be applied during one session of gameplay. Currently only obtainable through completing and claiming Daily Quests.

Tips and Tricks

If your fire goes out during the day, start collecting fuel but don't add it until night time. In fact, don't add it until the Deer spawns and is rushing into the campsite. This will minimize the amount of fuel lost to fire depletion. After fueling the campfire up to Level 4 you should stop using logs on it, due to their small effect on the campfire (less than 1% per log). At this point logs are better put into the grinder to craft useful items. If your campfire goes out at night it is recommended to find a safe spot to wait out the night, there are several listed on The Deer page. Building an Oil Drill is useful for getting the Campfire to Level 6. It is also good if you have had a hard time finding any fuel. The extra visibility in the safe zone doesn't work like a real light source - if you stand just inside the safe zone you can see things outside lit up clearly, but if you go closer they disappear into the darkness. It seems like Easter flame will be added later. Category:Special Structures Category:Main Articles Category:Mechanics Category:Game Mechanics Category:Structures Category:Locations
