This mod displays a timer above burning objects or any campfire telling you the exact time until the fire goes out.

  • No Lag: This mod won't affect your ingame FPS (if it starts lagging, the server will become unplayable on its own since the lag coming from the fire is much much higher than the lag coming from this mod)
  • Clear Display: Timers won't stack on top of each other and only the shortest timer will be shown, giving you a clear display of when a stack with multiple items will start to turn into ashes
  • Compatibility: It is compatible with other mods introducing new objects since timers aren't hardcoded

Burning objects will be marked with a seconds timer which displays the remaining time until the object turns into its burned state or simply into ashes. Not every object has a constant burning timer (e.g. Gunpowder) or can be specified exactly without hardcoding (e.g. Lune Tree), if the timer is marked with (brackets) then the object may burn down during any time while that timer is counting down. Explosives will aditionally be marked with !!exclamation marks!!, they tend to blow up and to deal damage once the timer ends so watch out for them.

Campfire, Fire Pit, Endothermic Fire, Endothermic Fire Pit, and Night Light do all show the amount of available fuel and their remaining burning duration depending on rain.

Update 1.1:

  • Added support for Lanterns located on the ground
  • New option: Enabled by default - If you don't enjoy it to have this mod enabled as soon as you join then you can turn it off and enable it ingame via the 'Show/Hide Burning Timer' button
  • Each timer (Burning, Campfire, Lantern) can now be manually disabled in the mod options
  • New option for Campfires and Lanterns: Hidden - Timer will only show up if you hover above it with your cursor
  • Adjusted percent value to be more on par with Klei's fuel system
  • Fixed all known bugs so far

Update 1.1.1:

  • Timers will now appear behind your hud

Update 1.1.2:

  • Added a fix to prevent the 'RegisterComponentActions' function in 'componentactions.lua' from crashing
  • Added Campfire Timer support for the Obsidian Fire Pit from 'Tropical Experience'

Update 1.1.3:

  • Added support for Star Caller's Staff and Moon Caller's Staff
  • [list]
  • Note: Dwarf Star or Polar Light timers will become incorrect if you start your server or rollback

[/list]

Please report if a crash occurs: Certain objects don't like it if this mod obtains their burning timer and crash your client, adding exceptions for objects like these isn't hard.
