[Bug] Structure components underwater can catch on fire

16 votes

I built a house partially out into a lake with support poles completely submerged. Fire from a lightning strike spread to these poles, which looks absolutely hilarious, but is also very annoying to deal with since you have to swim underwater to put them out with a fire whacker.

Sounds more like a bug. Did they forget to program that building material shouldn't burn under water?

Being able to light campfires etc underwater, and floor/wall torches underwater, whilst hilarious is something that probably needs to be coded out.. haha

You can actually build under water and light a fire.
