Trader campfire should not take damage

18 votes

Since the 0.148.6 update, campfire, bonfire, and hearth take damage when dealing damage. This includes the Trader's fire.

Since players may accidentally walk into the fire on occasion, the Trader's campfire will eventually be destroyed, and there's no way to place a new one. The "take damage when dealing damage" feature was added to prevent the objects from being used as weapons against mobs, however mobs are unable to enter the Trader's magical sphere, so there's no need for the Trader's campfire to take damage.

It would be great if an upcoming patch would fix this issue and also restore Trader campfires that have already been destroyed.

Hi Solus,

I apritiate your consern for Haldor and his campfire.
We know about it and we will look into ways for it to be more protected in the future from players destroying it.

But for now, if it breaks, Haldor will be somewhat sad but he won't punish anyone for it.
