  • Matches or a hand drill kitnot consumed

  1. 1Place suitable kindling or fuel on the ground to start a fireplace
  2. 2Add more fuel to keep it burning
  3. 3Ignite it with matches, or with a hand drill kit

Variants

Stone Ring upgrade
  • 1xFireplace
  • 8xStone
  • Add eight stones to an existing fireplace to build a stone ring
Stone Oven upgrade

  • 16xStone (16 total, or 8 more on an existing Stone Ring)
  • Build up to sixteen stones in total on the fireplace
  • If you already have a Stone Ring, add another eight

Useful notes

  • Several different items work as kindling and fuel — none of them is mandatory
  • Rain will put out an uncovered fire — build under cover
  • Standing close dries wet clothing, which is what actually fixes hypothermia

Why it matters

Fire cures hypothermia, dries gear, cooks meat and purifies water.
