📋 About This Mod
This mod adds burning campfires and fireplaces that can be crafted in the settlement workshops. There are six different campfires: two with rocks, two with cinder blocks, and two without anything but the wood and fire, either with or without skirting. There are six varieties of fireplaces: a brick or cement hearth (with or without fireguard), and a pre- and post-war stove-like fireplace. There is also a craftable campfire base that can be used for placing campfires upon. All fires have native flickering shadows and lighting, using the method developed by steve40. The campfires will also do real burn damage if you walk into them!
A "no-shadows" version is also available in the downloads section, as well as a "no NPC burn damage" version. Note that all versions can cause player burn damage.
Please note that v2. 3 or later is fully compatible with SK and SKE without needing any patches. If you are using SKE, the fires will be found under "Decorations -> DLC-Decorations-> BBCF Campfires and Fireplaces" in the workshop menu.
ALSO AVAILABLE ON XB1.
