| — In-game description |
The Fire Pit is a faction-neutral, player-built structure that warms up soldiers and thaws frozen pipes and vehicles in a 6m radius when fueled with Diesel.
Construction
The fire pit is built using a Hammer and 35 Basic Materials. It can be built pretty much anywhere, such as Roads, Bridges, or Beaches, however it cannot be built on rocks, ice, or on a Field Bridge.
Due to being a structure, they are also maintained by Maintenance Supplies, which can increase the supplies usage of any nearby bases.
With Railway Tracks and Small Gauge Railway Tracks it is the only player structure that can be built within the no-build zone near region borders.
Fueling
In order to use the fire pit, simply equip a diesel can and click on the pit by pressing LMB. The fire will automatically start as soon as it has diesel. The fire pit does not accept Petrol. One full can of Diesel will fully fuel the fire, which lasts 20 minutes, however the thawing process of vehicles takes less time than that. How big the fire is indicates how much fuel is left in the fire pit.
Destruction
The fire pit is very vulnerable, it is one of the few structures that can be destroyed with small arms. 11 shots with a basic pistol will destroy it. It can also be destroyed by vehicles that run into or over it. In addition to its fragility, if the blueprint is hit by a vehicle, it will also be destroyed.
Tips
- To prevent accidental ramming by friendly vehicles, you can build Storage Boxes around the fire pit.
- They are only needed during Snow Storms.
- It is the only method to thaw frozen vehicles (besides waiting for the end of the Snow Storm). However armored vehicles can also be thawed with flamethrowers because they are immune to Incendiary damage.
