Fire

"Fire is everything, brings light and warmth, turn terrible food into delicacy." =Fire Making: Hand Drill= (from Alpha 0.5.1.0 Update Log, 10 August]

Now all combustible items need Fire making actions to light them up.

==Required Tools: ==
 * Drill Board: Drill on a Wood Stub can make a simple Drill board


 * Drill Stick: a Thin Stick can be used as the drill stick


 * Tinder: many fibers can be chop down into tinders, like tree barks, rough fiber, thatch etc. Cut coconut shells or Plait four small leaves on a workbench can also give you tinders.

==Preparation: ==
 * Tinders made from different plants got different burn point, normally herbal plants have lower burn point. Use four 'broad leaves' and weave in to a tinder on a workbench for the optimal fire starting tinder.


 * The hardness of the Drill Stick will also affect the max temperature added to the Tinder while drilling, softer sticks can provide more temperature.
 * The hardness of the board combined with the hardness of the stick will optimize temperature. Use a hard board and a soft stick.
 * High quality of the board and the stick will increase how many starts can be made.


 * Environment temperature can also affect Fire making drastically, start Fire in an enclosed shelter or before sunset.


 * Wind is another factor that will affect Fire making, hide behind a huge rock may avoid strong winds (depending on the wind direction and your relative position to the rock)


 * If it rains, you’ll also need a cover overhead to keep the Fireplace dry.

==Start the Action: ==
 * Take Drill Stick and drill board in hands (doesn’t matter which hand takes which)


 * Tinders should be dropped near the target Fireplace


 * Use the “Fire” icon on the target fireplace to start the action



==Making Fire: Drilling ==
 * Roll the mouse wheel to drill, and added temperature to the Tinder


 * Switch the rolling direction can add drilling speed, but too frequent switching is not helpful.


 * Hold "S" key to create pressure on the Drill Board, this will add extra temperature to the Tinder.


 * When the Tinder’s temperature is 10% higher than its smoking temperature, will enter the next step.

==Making Fire: Smoking Tinder ==
 * Click left mouse button to blow air to the Tinder, this will add oxygen to raise the temperature further more.


 * Keep the oxygen amount as high as possible until the Tinder start to burn.

==Making Fire: Burning Tinder ==
 * Burning Tinder will raise the temperature of the target Fireplace (or torch)


 * Keep blowing air into the Tinder until the temperature reaches target item’s burn point (wood from different plants has different burn point)

Link the Fire:


 * Conditions:

When holding a burning item and look at an un-burning combustible item or vice versa, the link fire icon will show up.


 * Action:

When the conditions are met, you can use the link fire icon to light up the un-burning one.

= Fire Sources= There are two ways to control fire, a Torch and a Wood Pile. = Burn Times = '''You can help expand this Wikipedia page by testing and entering data. Please make sure your data is accurate. Thanks! -ezract"'''
