I feel this in a grey line of a feature / bug so will let you guys decide.

So when your skill gets higher the tree's kind of instant die meaning that forest fires become a bit more impossible or very unlikly. The best feature of the flamethrower when it first came out was tapping it out in the middle of nowhere to clear out forests and such.

Now at high levels it becomes almost a pain in the ass.

This isn't a bug but an (maybe?) undesired behavior of how fire spreads.

We may change how it works in the future but for now it's going to stay as it is.
