Light the fire beneath the pot
Bring a Stick and move your aim down from the pot to the Campfire underneath. Use the Burn Wood interaction shown on your screen. On the default keyboard prompt in the example, this is E.
The fuel counter moves from 0/5 to 1/5 when you add one Stick and the fire lights. You can start cooking a matching recipe without filling all five fuel spaces.
Cook Fruit Compote
- Interact with the pot itself.
- Put 3 Apples into its three MAIN ingredient slots, one Apple per slot.
- Light the Campfire beneath it.
- Check the pot for Fruit Compote, a COOKING label and a percentage that increases.
- When it finishes, open the pot and move the finished dish from the output slot into your inventory.
The fire and the pot have separate interactions. If you keep opening the ingredient menu, lower your aim to reach the fire.
