      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

It feels like I may be posting this in the wrong subforum, if so, sorry. It did include 'questions about TFC' in the description. This is not a bug report or anything of the sort. With that said, let's begin:

 

I just wanted to know exactly what the current situation is regarding fires and fire hazards in the latest TFC build. I mean, I know firepits will burn you and any unfortunate mobs, but more of a concern to me, is can torches, firepits, forges, etc. cause wooden buildings to burn down?

Nope. My smithery has a wooden floor, two forges, a bloomery and many torches, and none of them burnt the floor down. The only real danger to the wood is a pit kiln, torches thrown on log piles and lava (they changed the behavior in a recent update, so lava now burns nearby wood on a radius larger than vanilla lava). And flint & steel, I guess, but that's no different from vanilla.

 

I'm unsure about charcoal pits, though.

Ok, thanks. But then again, that is the floor, not the walls or ceiling. A torch seperated from the wooden floor by a single block would be unlikely to affect it (though I doubt torches are a threat anyway), and a forge surrounded by stone (as is the requirement) would be fine anyway. Ditto with the bloomery. I think the only real threat would be firepits (especially since they set things alight a few patches ago). All of my firepits I light on the upper deck with but the sky above them, and a block of basalt cobble seperating the firepit from the wooden floor.

 

Therefore, I think I am quite safe. Nonetheless, thought I'd make a quick post just to make sure. Wouldn't like my progress on my current SSP world to go up in smoke. Cheers! :)

In my storage building, there's a fire pit directly aside the wooden wall. Haven't seen a single fire.

 

I think the pits and the forge only burn players, because they don't cause "real fire". They don't destroy items dropped on them as well, and you stop burning after you leave the block (if you burn yourself with "real fire" or a zombie, the fire will go on for a few seconds).

 

Pit kilns and uncovered charcoal pits have actual fire blocks atop them, so this fire spreads properly like in vanilla. Or maybe even further, like lava.

Correct. Fire spread is vanilla. Only the flame block itself is issue. Forge, firepit, bloomery and blast furnace are safe.

I think lightning strikes can start a fire.

Yeah, I know. I was just wondering if there was a bit of code in the current-build firepit which started a 'real' fire, similar to how it worked in the good old days of firepits in the middle of charpits.

 

@Bunsan - Gotcha. Thanks.
