Campfire

"I might survive this night."

- Wendy A Campfire is a key to basic survival in the world. It provides Light and heat, allows food to be cooked. It requires 3 Cut Grass and 2 Logs to create. It is cheaper than Fire Pit in terms of resources to make but also less efficient as it can not be re-lit, the fuel will burn 2 times faster, is more susceptible to rain, and is less safe, as it may set nearby flammable objects on fire. When it burns out it drops Ash.

Usage
Once built, the Campfire lasts 2 minutes and 15 seconds unless more fuel is added. Additional fuel increases fire duration linearly up to a maximum of 4.5 minutes while heat and light emitted goes up in four discrete steps: 70 / 120 / 180 / 220 degrees and 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 units of distance respectively. The different stages can be observed by the growing flames and left click feedback. Adding too much fuel to a Campfire can cause nearest Trees, Grass , Saplings or any other flammable objects to catch fire, which can start large forest fires in a Forest biome. This danger can be averted by building away from other flammable objects, or opting for the Fire Pit. During winter, campfires provide enough warmth to keep a character alive without any additional clothing, provided that he stays nearby and keeps adding fuel.

In Rain a campfire may burn its fuel up to 250% faster (depending on precipitation rate).

Cooking
Cooking food on a fire is the most basic of the three ways to prepare food (The others being on the Drying Rack or in the Crock Pot). Cooking generally increases the amount of Hunger filled when a food is eaten, as well as giving a minor increase in Health. Cooked meats prevents the Sanity loss from eating meat raw and Monster Meat is less toxic when cooked, though still not your best route to Success.

Bugs
Occasionally, it is possible to build a campfire with only one log instead of the required two. (Not a bug- creating a structure, but not placing it, will "queue" the structure for later- while you may not have placed it at the time, you may place it later at no cost (resources consumed on creation).
