Fire Placement
Optimal fire placement in Survive 7 Days In Arctic Roblox: heat radius, wind protection, fuel efficiency, and shelter integration.
Last updated: July 2026
Why Placement Matters
Fire placement determines how much of your shelter actually benefits from warmth. A pit too close to a wall may be unsafe; too far from your crafting spot means cold debuffs while working. Center placement with clearance on all sides is the default best practice until alpha mechanics prove otherwise.
Wind can blow heat away from occupied zones. Partial walls around the pit—without blocking ventilation—improve consistency.
Indoor Versus Outdoor Fires
Indoor fires maximize warmth per fuel unit but require ventilation to avoid smoke penalties if the alpha adds them. Outdoor fires suit fishing camps but cost more fuel to achieve the same body warmth. Transition outdoor pits under a roof awning by Day 2.
See How to Keep Fire Burning for fuel types and maintenance timing.
Multi-Fire Setups
Late-week bases sometimes run a primary indoor pit plus a secondary outdoor fire for processing fish or drying gear. Only attempt this if fuel reserves exceed 50 wood—otherwise consolidate to one efficient pit.
Co-op teams can assign fire zones: indoor for rest, outdoor for crafting.
