Anyone know why palisades only burn to the right?

I'm not sure if houses or whatever else you can catch on fire in settlements react the same way, but I do know whenever attack a fort, and you light a portion of the palisade wall on fire, it only burns to the right. I've seen it dozens of times, as I usually attempt to set the towers on fire before attacking. Each time, whether the tower sets the wall on fire, or however it happens, the fire will spread right, leaving any wall left of it relatively untouched.

Then start burning from the extreme left?

Well I never! The things some people spot! I never noticed that at all. Good find.

The wind blows from the left, that's why.

Bumpity bump bump, I'm guessing after perusing through next weeks patch notes CA haven't caught this one yet; Any CA Devs here by chance that can make note of this? I mean, I could go about the official forums and that whole process, but... I'm lazy.

In all seriousness though that would be super convenient

at first I thought you were just casually creating a useless thread, but judging by your last post you're serious

geez... I don't think I've seen a more ridiculous complaint about the game before...

Excuse you, but the purpose of the topic was to see if it was already a commonly know issue within the community; Not to complain about the game, nor take it upon yourself to judge how ridiculous an observation is.

CA adds a new fire mechanic into the engine, the fire mechanic doesn't burn anything to the left of the fires origin. I figured that would be a bug worth looking into. Honestly, your input is clearly not needed, nor wanted, and I would appreciate it if you don't waste your time to reply to this either, I think one topic derailment attempt is enough as it is.
