So, after finding the Community Chest packed to the brim with books, flint, and wood. I gave building a Campfire a go - worked like a charm.
However, the Campfire went out rather quickly, maybe a single hour ICly? So whatever that is here, I don't know, four minutes?
I would suggest either making it last a little longer - cause there's no point to the Campfire other than RP, and to have to rebuild one every four minutes is kind of a drag - and costly on the material side.
An easy way to correct this would be to just adjust the timer to last a little longer.
But if you're worried about people building campfires here and there and having them last far too long, the Campfires that spawn could be Interact-able, allowing you to add more wood to the fire, thus restarting the timer. This is more work, ( Especially for just a campfire ) but it could work either way.
On another note, I noticed that the variety of items that can be found in "Junk" searches is pretty small. Books, Crafting points, flint, Wood, - the odd club or alchemist fire. I thought it might be more beneficial to have a longer list; making Crafting points a little less farm-able while still offering the players items of minor use.
Now I haven't given this list any real deep thought, nor did I shift through the Toolset and go over the many items that could replace, or be added to them. But these things, have in my opinion, minor uses that allows them to be usable to many a player without stepping outside the realm of "junk".
-Box ( A simple large container, no weight reduction )
-Bullets ( A small amount, they're just rocks or marbles really )
-Seeds ( Seeds able to be planted to grow food, much like the Herbal seeds )
-Single Candles ( They give off light, and I believe a +1 search, but are terminated after a single use )
-Rope ( I'd imagine it would only have an RP use )
-Etc ( I'm sure there are many more that could be added, these were just a few off the top of my head to use as examples )
Again~ These are just my thoughts, and I'd love to hear your own. These ideas are pretty low priority mind, just putting them up so I don't forget about them.
