Hi,

It's a suggestion to handle a very frustrating situation in the game when a structure is burning and your colonists cannot reach the fire because the structure is too large.

I guess we all have experienced this feeling of being powerless when our geothermal generator is burning in the center and your colonist are just unable to reach such a position because the generator is a 4x4 structure.

My idea is to allow colonists to throw in water buckets on a short distance and to have advanced device like a fire extinguisher, much more efficient. I don't know if it may add a plus to the game but it should remove a lot of frustration. And that's quite good in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure the Clutter mod has a device like that.

But it's a Vanilla functional problem. Even if the mod can handle it, it should be Vanilla fixed ;)

Yes definitely, but at the time being, use the Clutter mod (I am positive it's in there, not entirely sure, but I think It's in there)

Just a point as ot was mentioned here, but all my mods will be in single form from Alpha8 onwards so if you want the fire extinguisher in Alpha8 you can have it and nothing else. Ive already split them out locally into seperate mods.

I'd never met an iterator I liked....until Zhentar saved me.
