Bonfire

The Bonfire is the core anchor of any base, serving as your primary spawn point, comfort provider, and basic cooking station. Placing a Bonfire establishes your claim on the surrounding area and allows you to respawn nearby after death. It also provides a comfort buff that boosts health regeneration while you remain in its vicinity.

Beyond its role as a spawn anchor, the Bonfire functions as an early cooking station before you build a dedicated Cooking Fire. You can prepare simple meals here to keep your hunger and health in check during the initial stages of exploration. Every base should start with a Bonfire placed in a central, protected location.

As your settlement grows, the Bonfire remains relevant as a comfort source and fallback spawn point. Pair it with a Tent for additional revival options, and upgrade to a Cooking Fire for access to the full range of food recipes. The Bonfire requires minimal materials to construct, making it one of the first structures you should place when establishing a new outpost.
