Fir Firewood is a fuel for fires in The Long Dark, it also is a material for repairing the Heavy Hammer.
Overview[]
Fir Firewood can be harvested from downed Fir Limbs found outdoors with a tool. It can also be found inside of structures, firewood bins, rotten tree trunks, or near campfires and corpses. It can also be found by Beachcombing. Fir has no bonus fire-starting chance, and is thus unfavorable for starting Fire with.
Fire Starting info[]
Obtaining[]
- Fir Limbs respawn after high winds and blizzards, making them a renewable resource and the Heavy Hammer a renewable tool.
- Small Fir Limbs yield 3 Fir Firewood with a Hatchet (45 minutes and 2% condition loss on stalker difficulty), Improvised Hatchet (58 minutes), or Hacksaw (90 minutes).
- Large Fir Limbs yield 4 Fir Firewood with a Hatchet (60 minutes), but cannot be harvested with a Hacksaw.
- Large and Small Fir Limbs cost tools the same condition per use (4%), making Large limbs more tool-friendly to harvest, except with the Hacksaw which cannot harvest Large Cedar or Large Fir Limbs.
Tips[]
Since a single piece of Fir Firewood has a fire duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes, so it's 90 min/kg is less efficient per weight than Cedar Firewood at 120 min/kg. However, Fir Firewood is more time-efficient to harvest compared to Cedar Firewood, since each piece of Fir burns for 30 minutes longer. A small Fir Limb will burn for 4.5 hours(3 pieces of Fir) whereas a small Cedar Limb provides 3 hours of burn-time. This is specifically useful when the player decides to chop wood outside but has limited time to do so because of cold weather, maintaining Fire, etc.
