Bonfires are base structures used for cooking, sleeping and warmth.

Compared to Campfires, they provide fire over a larger area and don't go out during rain.

Notes[]

  • Bonfires can only be placed on the ground and on stone structures.
  • Multiple Cooking stations can be placed around the Bonfire, however, the cauldron does not work as it needs the fire directly underneath it.
  • A Bonfire must be fueled with wood in order to function. Unlike the Campfire, it requires fueling with wood immediately after placement in order to burn.
  • With 1/10 fuel, a Bonfire will last for 1 hour and 23 minutes. At maximum capacity a Bonfire should burn for 13 hours and 53 minutes. This duration is the same for the Campfire.
  • Bonfires in captured Fuling Villages can be recycled for their materials, including the Surtling core, if a workbench is built in their vicinity.
  • When exposed to rain without roof or strong wind without 70% cover, the fire gets dimmer and the Fire effect radius drops from 15 meters to 12 meters.
  • Active bonfires create smoke.
  • Using a Surtling core on a bonfire produces a firework-like effect, that is visible to players outside the normal render distance.
  • One of the few base structures that isn't a priority target for creatures.
