**Welcome to Stoke Fire!**

**_Game Objective_**

Your goal is to collect wood and food to keep your fire alive.

Wood ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/1fab5.png): Used to build huts (villagers' houses) and camps (which automatically collect wood).

Food 🍖: Attracts villagers (workers) who stay in the huts you build.

  

**_Getting Started_**

At the start, you should collect wood every 6 hours and build huts until your cooldown resets. Once you've built enough huts, start collecting food before time runs out.

A common strategy is:

1\. Spend the first two days building huts.

2\. On the last day, collect food before stoking your fire.

Each hut houses 5 workers. So, if you build 5 huts, you can accommodate 25 workers.

Before you stoke the fire, you must collect enough food for all workers—otherwise, they will die.

For example:

If you have 5 huts (25 workers), you need 25 food before stoking.

If you later build 5 more huts (total of 10 huts = 50 worker slots, 25 full and 25 empty), you will need 75 food (25 for current workers + 50 for new potential workers, they need double food to get persuaded to come).

  

**_Raiding & Shields_**

You can raid other players' resources every 6 hours. However, villages can shield one of their resources.

If you attack and hit a shielded resource, you might lose one of your own to them.

If you attack an unshielded resource, you steal some of it.

You'll get the hang of raiding as you play.

  

**_Fire Timer & Stoking_**

Watch out for the 72-hour timer—if your fire burns out, you lose all progress!

When stoking, you need:

3 Wood

10 $FIRE tokens (this amount may change based on the price of $FIRE)

⚠ Warning: If you're close to the timer running out, other players may steal your wood, leaving you unable to stoke due to the 6-hour collection cooldown. If that happens, your village will burn down.

At the start, it's best to shield your wood, as it's the rarer resource.

  

**_Transactions & Wallets_**

Every action in the game is a transaction, so you’ll need a small amount of Base ETH in your Game Wallet (you can find your wallet address in Settings).

You must also hold your $FIRE tokens in your wallet.

You can swap ETH for [$FIRE](https://dexscreener.com/base/0x3b4b89aabf561405cb422a79977d32ca449beee3) in-game, or use this contract address to get $FIRE elsewhere:

_0xD27c288Fd69f228e0c02F79e5ecadff962E05a2b_

In Settings, you can export your seed phrase and import it into another wallet (e.g., Metamask, Rainbow) to control your funds.

  
  

That’s it! Now you know all the essentials to get started. After some time, you’ll naturally get the hang of the game.
