Journals, notebooks and sheets of paper can't be used to make campfires

[MrHrulgin]

Despite being paper, I can't use them to make a campfire kit. This might be a protective measure to keep people from accidentally burning their notes, so perhaps give us an option to tear them up into shredded paper that can be used as kindling?

is it really necessary? You just need a dirty rag to craft a campfire, it's like the easiest object you can get in the game.

Sure it would make more sense to use paper

Philosophical: Nothing is "necessary". Every feature and interaction is optional. Is the necessity of a feature really any grounds for discussion?

 

Game experience: of the set of things that could be described as paper, all but the things listed above can be burned, and these can't. There's no in-game explanation for the discrepancy. Is it a high priority? Absolutely not.
