fuel meters for forges/ovens/lamps/campfires/ocelots/etc.

Recommended Posts

Did a search and didnt see it suggested, so here goes:

Is there any way we could get a more precise reading on the amount of fuel left in a fire/lamp/lantern?  It would be nice to know instead of getting paranoid and examining an item constantly.

Heck, you could even tie the ability to firemaking, with higher skill giving more detail about the fuel left, type and effect.

Tying this is into firemaking is a very cool idea for a fairly useless skill.

Pretty sure I suggested this a while back.

Qoute: You must know how much fuel is left or you would not know whe the fuel runs out. Can we at least Examine to get an approximation of the figure? "Oh look! There is only half can of tar in my lantern. Shake, shake!"

Seen varying suggestions of a similar nature. Less smoke as the fire burns down to coals, mouseover info from firemaking skill, fire produces less light, and etc.

Relating this to the firemaking skill, then on examine you get to see the time left, for example, a 30 FM goes by "about 40-50-60 minutes lefT" while the 40 FM would go with "about 35-30-25" etc minutes left.

Meaning in 10 minute time stamps, while the other one goes by 5 minute time stamps.

At 50 skill or even higher, you can make it so that the player can see exactly by minutes and seconds how long the forge or oven or campfire, whatever else that burns, keeps burning.

playing on a WU server that has this implemented... very useful indeed, especially when considering how to spend the last few minutes of playtime.
