Design Faction Fire Response Systems

Goal

Unify the future faction-specific active fire-response concepts into a durable design direction.

Why

Ironteeth, Folktails, and Emberpelts should not all fight fire the same way. Suppression should become a faction identity layer without letting Timberborn adapters own core fire rules.

Requirements

• Depend on the faction child tickets for the individual strategy writeups.
• Keep suppression effects expressed as simulation inputs, such as water application, spread resistance, smoke field modification, or beaver exposure risk.
• Compare resource cost, labor cost, injury risk, and response speed across factions.
• Identify shared UI, alert, range, staffing, and telemetry needs.
• Record which ideas are implementation-ready and which need prototype evidence.

Dependencies

• Design Ironteeth Fire Wardens #54 covers Ironteeth Fire Wardens.
• Design Folktails Fire Bell Bucket Brigade #55 covers Folktails Fire Bell bucket brigades.
• Design Emberpelt Tail Stamping Fire Response #56 covers Emberpelt tail-stamping response.
• Design Smoke Fans And Airflow Effects #57 covers fans and airflow.
• Design Constructible Fire Berms #58 covers constructible fire berms.

Role

• Researcher.
• Follow researcher.md.

Verification

• Run git diff --check.

Notes

• Parent design reference: world-consequence-first-pass.md, "Faction Fire Response Ideas".
• Deferred until the passive consequence and field-effect loop is stable.
