Ice fishing in the dark2/28/2023 You can power cook food, or power boil water, getting the most bang for your buck while having a place to retreat or grab a torch and transfer the fire to the inside fire place for the long term, if a blizzard starts. So accelerating 13 minutes is actually 14-16 minutes, depending.Īnd last but not least, have fun. Just remember, when you accelerate time, you also add about 1-3 minutes of time. Staggering your meat cooking time is the next best thing to keeping a can of water boiling for the purpose of controlling time jumps. It's okay if they don't all finish at the same time. Only accelerate time on the one that will be finished cooking first. If you are cooking only the meat, cook different types of meat with different cook times and check them. If you use the little bottles of Everflame, they are. if you use up all the fuel, they vanish from your inventory. I keep the raw meat piled up outside, so I can right click it onto the cooking surfaces easier.ĭO NOT USE UP ALL YOUR JERRY CANS. Remember, fires burn longer outdoors, so 9 minutes of outdoor fire is actually about 15 minutes. NEVER ACCELLERATE TIME MORE THEN 13 MINUTE INCRIMENTS. Your fire is at 10 hours, you say? Well, while you are accelerating time to cook faster, the wind can gust and reduce that fire from 10 hours to 9 minutes in a heart beat. If your fire is at 9 minutes, it won't burn out. I like to have at least one can of water cooking, because you can hit space bar and accelerate time, but at cooking 5, it's only 13 minutes, max. On the shelves or in these spaces are a good place to put the water you make so it is out of the way if you make like 50 bottles of water, dump it out on the ice and sort it later. I keep Lure Meat there, as well as tools. If you have anything special you want to keep out of the way, you can see there is a spot you can put items so they stick out of the drawers. Keep your bedroll on top of the cabinet for the space. You can thus nap for an hour and get 1.5 ltrs of water while you are doing it. When you have max cooking, if you have a cooking pot, you can cook 1.5 ltrs of water in 1 hour 4 minutes. I keep the cooked meat inside on the left and the fuel on the right. Here you see me inside when the wind is too high for cooking with the fires. Harvest them when you AREN'T using the fires. Two, you can harvest them later for sticks, thus turning other forms of wood into sticks. One, they go out when the wind starts gusting too high. Pull torches to reduce the burn time by 10 minutes and throw those torches out onto the ice. but if you add reclaimed wood, you can lose a half hour. So if you wait until your fire is at 1min left and add a stick, if the wind gusts, you might only lose a few minutes. When it is "gusty", you can still add fuel, but a gust of wind will drop your fire to 9 minutes. This will increase your burn time over 9 minutes. When it is windy, you may have to burn wood that isn't a stick. The wind was enough to blow out one, but the other stayed lit, as you can see by the smoke going straight up. So at least one will burn if the wind comes from anywhere in a 250 degree arc. The other one only has 120 degree protection. Now see how the one behind the door is straight up, but the one on the right is blowing to the left? If you have the fire next to the door in JUST the right spot, the cooking surfaces are accessible from the doorway, but the door acts as a wind break giving you 180 degree protection from the wind. The inner stove is off, only to be used if the cold gets really bad, or you need to keep the flame going and both fires outside are blown out. This is how your hut should be operating normally. You can get it a big closer with practice, and walk in an out over the cooking surfaces, but you have to be REAL careful and the additional wind resistance isn't worth it. See that tinder plug on the ice? Always make a trail to your Hut from the shore using tinder plugs.Īlways pick a hut with a door if you are going to make it your long term fishing hut, both for the warmth bonus, and protection.
