Modifier Flames (Fire Modifiers) - Complete Guide
Activate flames in-game on Day 1 for the whole run. All 13 flames (5 legacy + 8 new), how to get them, and practical tips. Based on the Feb 21, 2026 update.
Modifier Flames Overview
Modifier Flames change how your run plays—from event triggers to resource buffs. As of the big Feb 21, 2026 update, you activate one flame in-game on Day 1 instead of locking it in the lobby.
See the Update Log for the Feb 21, 2026 release note.
System Overhaul (Key Change)
- Before: Flames were chosen in the lobby and fixed for the whole run.
- Now: You can activate a flame in-game on Day 1—more flexible and adaptable to your route.
Only one flame can be active at a time (some players report stacking; not officially confirmed). Each flame is consumed when used and is permanently stored until you use it.
How to Activate a Flame (Day 1 Only)
- Chop 3 trees to collect wood.
- At the Crafting Bench, craft a Supply Crate (3 wood).
- Place the blueprint on the ground at camp.
- Open the crate → drag the flame onto the campfire (do not max the campfire or advance to Day 2 yet).
- When the flame activates, the campfire color changes and the effect is active immediately.

How to Get Flames
The only current method is the Slot Machine in the lobby: complete Tier 2 or Tier 3 daily quests (reset daily). Examples:
- Revive teammates 5 times in one run
- Tame a mammoth
- Defeat Cultist King
- Eat 10 peppers / eat only meat for 20 days
Completion gives one random flame (legacy or new). Flames cannot be bought with Robux; only from quests or future events.
Practical Tips
- Day 1: Chop trees → build Supply Crate → activate your most needed flame (e.g. Coinsplosion or Apple Tree for survival).
- With Tool Trader: Old Fishing Rod + Fishing Flame for fishing; Taming Flute + Taming Flame for fast zoo progress.
- Some players run multiple flames (mixed campfire colors); campfire can become harder to control—try one flame first.
- Event flames (Valentine, Thanksgiving, etc.) are best for limited rewards; resource flames (Coin, Red Chest, Fishing) suit survival and speed runs.
