Add thicker smoke for fires

Recommended Posts

I love the temperature idea, the elements/night should make you cold, and bring into play more gameplay possibilities if one day (perhaps amra 3) we get different clothing items.

What I think would be quite cool is a dynamic whereby you have to be careful where you create your fire.

I column of grey/black smoke extended a couple hundered meters into the air would make a decent game mechanic of hunters seeking out smoke, and other hunters laying traps etc etc etc.

I would also be slightly tempted to remove ability to make fire indoors for reasons mentioned above.

It also brings the world alive. The other day I was scouting with binos and saw two people huddled around a fire. Seemed to make the world more real right there.

Fire is risky for patrols in the army I'm sure some ex-soldier will point out. Haven't seen a fire at night, but going the whole night without lighting one should leave you open to problems. Can you see the glow stronger than a flare? I hope it is similar.
