    Not a major issue-----a bigger issue that 10 rocks and that is it. Takes more then stone to Build a fire! lol but I guess simple word change would would make the game more real and less confusioning!

    I have a feeling when the world update is turned on, fires will require fuel to start and maintain. You don't feed the fire, it will go out.

    I once made a fire with a magnesium ribbon and water in my freshman chemistry lab. The magnesium reacts with the water to form Mg(OH)2 and hydrogen gas. The reaction is highly exothermic, meaning that it gives off energy, in the form of heat. The heat that it created was so hot that it ignited the hydrogen gas. It was hella awesome. At the time I didn't know what the crap I did.

    I know sodium metal has to be stored in mineral oil or similiar because it's reactive with water and will react with the water in the atmosphere.

    Still more than just stone, but I thought it's pretty cool.

    Omg, I did that too. That was amazing to see. Well my memory is a little foggy (damn Cannabis) but I remember just adding water to it and it catching fire. Maybe there was an external spark or flame added to ignite the gas... anyway starting fire from dust and water was very memorable.

    You do know that we are not educated in-game, There is no english classes in Xsyon. So the dang thing could be called "gum gum" and still work.
