Open Fireplace - longer burning time or managed by guards

[Wilczan 2,048]

Hello

 

I improved my open fireplace to 91 quality, and it burns for like a half hour.

 

A forge of the same quality burns for about 3 hours.

 

I think open fireplace need some boost with burning time, couse with such short time firing it become rather pointless.

 

Another option is to make it managed by the guards like a lamps etc.

Poor guards...

Sure yeah something akin to the oil barrel would probably work. Similar functionality.

[Brash_Endeavors 4,735]

I think it should work like lamps, since you cannot use it for cooking or crafting.

 

It's a fancy light source. It is nothing BUT a fancy light source.

+1  As a light source it should be treated as any other light source on-deed.

+1 for it acting like any other light source on deed.

Its decorational and it lights up - why not treat it like everything else? Maybe even like the candelabras - that they stay lit indefenitley, even daytime,  on deed if you just get the fire started.

+1 light source also

+1 light source OR guard managed - either would be far better than the mechanics as they stand

[PureEvil18 10]

+1 I would like to see them light up each night on deed.

Yes, the fireplace on deed should work on the same basis as planted lamps do, on/off at day/night with no Spirit Templars required. It would then make for a really cozy effect in rooms and no doubt they would be created more often. Right now I don't even have any on my deeds but if they auto-lit like this I would be sure to make some for my Public Inn structures for others enjoyment.

I put a brazier in it to make it automatic but it would be much better if it function like a lamp. Just remove the open fire sound effect from it.

got 4 in 2 chimney stacks, never lit them, not alot of point, unlit decoration items. half an hour you say? that's mad.

Ok, so now open fireplaces are burning if there is a barrel of oil on the deed. This change is in good direction.

 

But fireplaces fueled with oil??

 

Make them be fired like forges and just stay burning till we snuff it. It's only decoration, make it simplier and useful.

Oil doesn't make sense. There's a woodpile (and a woodbasket?) next to the fireplace - make it so we can drop a decent amount of logs in those (make the woodpile into a container for logs), and let the guard keep the fire alive from that, not from a barrel of olive-oil...

[Wilczan 2,048]

Bump. Make them wood/tar/peat dependant instead of oil.
