Well an issue that ive found is that in order to reach a cooking pot placed on the hearth i have to jump up on the edge of it. I cant reach it without doing it. Ive found that if you place a thin wooden stair it kinda helps because you dont have to jump, just walking into the stair makes you jump a short distance and it seems to break stuff less. It still happens though.

Cant they just make it to where enemies that step on the campfires damage it but players stepping on them dont?
