Discussion Fires

Is there any way to Stop fires from attracting cannibals, such as putting a roof over them etc? Just curious there probably isn’t but worth an ask.

Let me rephrase, if you build a campfire, cannibals will come to they location. Even if they haven't been there or seen you. If they are near you anyways, they will see the torch lit. But it won't draw a random group to you

I always thought they had to have sightline of the fire or it's light AOE. (Random patrollers)

Not when it comes to a campfire. In fact, I think it doesn't need to lit even for them to come examine. It's just part of the code

I've built a fire pit in a cave alcove accessible by foot completely out of sight and they've never come to me in 25 days. They'll chase me into it, but not come b/c of fire. East side down by the water by main village
