The Campfire is a ring of stones that holds an open fire. The tooltip says it is used for heat, to cook food and for corpse disposal.
It sits in the Outdoors section of the Building menu. It comes in a single version and needs no skill. It is one of the first things a survivor can build. That makes it a key early tool for cooking and for boiling water away from a working stove.
A campfire is cheap and easy to move. It is the right choice in the wild or when the power is out.
How to Build Campfire
The build takes three Stone and nothing else. No tools and no skill are needed. The recipe is known from the start.
The campfire can be taken apart again with the option to remove it and take the stones. All three stones come back, so the fire can be rebuilt somewhere else.
The Campfire recipe builds the Campfire. It needs no skill level.

How to Use Campfire
A built campfire acts like a container on the ground. Food and water placed inside cook and heat while it burns. A lit fire can also sterilise water.
Fuel goes in through the option to add fuel. Many items burn, and each adds burn time. Lighting the fire needs an ignition item and a way to light it. A fire with no fuel added will not light from items that give no burn time.
Corpses can be burned on it. Each body must be dropped on top of the fire, not placed inside the container. Adding bodies to a lit fire carries a high risk of catching fire. The safe way is to place every body before lighting it.
Anyone standing on a lit campfire can catch fire. That includes survivors, zombies and animals. A campfire built indoors may start a house fire.
Removing the fire drops any items inside onto the ground. Any fuel left in it is lost.
Notes
- Needs three Stone and no skill.
- Drop corpses on top before lighting, never after.
- Building it indoors risks setting the building alight.
- Removing it returns the stones but loses the fuel.
- Keep water or an extinguisher close in case of fire.
