More ways to ignite a fire

Recommended Posts

I think there should be more ways to ignite a fire. For example striking two stones against each other to produce a spark. Kind of redundant since you can combine them into stone knife, peel off bark with it, cut down bush and make a fire starting kit, so, how about also being able to start fire with a combination of hatchet/axe and a stone, as striking stone with hatchet or axe can produce a spark IRL, because *drum rolls* YOU CANT GET BARK FROM A TREE WITH A HATCHET OR AXE. So if you're dying of hypothermia and have a hatchet or axe you cant make a fire because you cant get bark with it. Maybe also combining hatchet/axe/pickaxe and sharpening stone? Although there is a problem as you have to have a single item to ignite the fire, so there will have to be a new item - combined hatchet/axe/pickaxe with small stone or sharpening stone that you can take into hands. Should probably be possible to break it down into the two initial items. Maybe some more ways to start a fire, like for example a car or truck battery combined with metal wire, you can like short it to get sparks. Maybe also bring in a magnifying glass in the game so that it can be combined with a rag or a paper to produce fire starting kit that works only during the day and only outside of buildings.
