Pawns trying to put out the fire may collapse from heatstroke. If the fire is not extinguished eventually a pawn will become incapacitated and burn until deathĪt higher temperatures (above ~235C/455F/508K), flammables can spontaneously ignite, and an orange haze effect will appear. Heat damage has no armor penetration and is therefore easily affected by heat resisting apparel. While on fire a pawn will receive 2 heat damage per second regardless of the flame size. They cannot be controlled in this panic state. Also note that pawns on fire can also spread fire which can lead to a cascade effect. If this occurs, the player can prioritize a different colonist to attempt to put out the flames of their burning comrade.
They may also wander into unsafe open areas where they might be vulnerable to attacks. Pawns on fire will become momentarily disabled by panic and will attempt to extinguish the fire by putting it themselves or finding a water body. Another key step to preventing fire is to use non-flammable materials for walls. Place firebreaks outside of colony perimeter walls and around other important structures. Firebreaks are non-flammable flooring, typically concrete, with a minimum width of three tiles. To make them fight fires outside of this area, use the "Expand home area" tool in the Zone/Area section of the Architect menu, or draft them and place them next to the fire you wish them to extinguish.Ī good way to prevent fire from spreading is by using firebreaks. Colonists capable of firefighting will only fight fires in your Home area. Fire may spread far and wide if left unchecked. It spreads via embers that travel up to two tiles and will start another fire if it lands on something flammable. Fire is capable of destroying crops, resources, structures, and can injure or kill pawns.
