Spread out forge fuel descriptions

Recommended Posts

Once you stock a forge with 20kg of woodscraps, I'd guess over 75% of the time it's at "The fire burns steadily and will still burn for a long time".  It seems a fully stocked forge (which may burn for another 4 hours) has the exact same description as a forge freshly lit with a single kindling (that may burn for another 20 minutes).


 


We can keep the same word descriptions for fuel levels, but just spread them out so they're more even.


 


There are 6 fuel levels:


  • "The fire burns steadily and will still burn for a long time."
  • "The fire burns with wild flames and still has much unburnt material."
  • "The fire is starting to fade."
  • "A few flames still dance on the fire but soon they too will die."
  • "A layer of ashes is starting to form on the glowing coals."
  • "A few red glowing coals can be found under a bed of ashes."

From top to bottom, have it describe fuel levels of 50-100%, 30-50%, 20-30%, 10-20%, 1-10% respectively.  Or at least something more spread out than it is now where the first one controls 75-80% of the forge's fuel level.

I think the current implementation mirrors what happens over time in real-life relationships pretty well.

 

Ah, wait - this is about forges/campfires <_< . +1 then
