Suggestion: Make Books and Paper necessary for Survival!
New, WishlistPublic

Description

So if I am correct from what I read, the campfire and cooking feature will be available early 2014.

And I believe the items needed are chopped wood, stones and matches.

It makes sense and I have a suggestion to probably a better Idea.

Instead of stone, it should be PAPER or BOOKS!

Because if you come to think of it, the books are a rarely picked up item in the game because they are almost useless.

To make them useful, they must be a necessary item for survival.

Now if you want to make a campfire in real life, you will need a fast burning material or a fire starter to keep the fire up until the wood is dark and ember.

I suggest PAPER is a 1 use item while BOOKS can contain 5-10 sheets of paper that you can burn.

This way the players will be encouraged to pick up those papers and books to read... learn something then once they are finished with it, cook meat with it!

To make it even more interesting, make it a little harder to start fire without them like there is a 30%-50% chance of fire starting with only matches and wood but an instant fire if you have paper and books.

Do I make sense here?

Now I have another idea: Keep on feeding the campfire wood and paper if you want the fire to keep burning longer so that you dont have to spawn new campfires over the other. Now that is realistic!

You were assuming correctly. Since a few updates now, fires can be fed using paper pages.

Not sure if this already fulfills your ticket as by what you've written. If you consider it resolved, please close it as resolved. Thanks.
