Die given how long it can take to load the scene. :( Just one of those balance points that needs to be figured out.

The idea was that instead of outright destroying a structure, it would burn for several hours before being destroyed. While on fire, it would be impossible to use the structure, but the fire could be put out with some effort, thereby saving the structure.


I've also wanted this for quite some time.

Make me think of the Three Little Pigs. See, we really do have big, bad Wolves.

That would be cool and having to dump something like 500-1000L of water on the house to put it out. How many players have 300+ strength in the world today?

It would be quiet amusing to watch villagers panic to pour buckets of water on their house after you set it ablaze!
