yeah, that was my first thought.
but if i make the box bigger, the fire and smoke only scales up.

It sounds like you're scaling up the result of the smaller simulation and not changing the size of the simulation space. You'll have to change the bounds of the box inside the Pyro Object DOP in the /obj/AutoDopNetwork instead.

If you want smoke to leave the pyro box, you should add sink geometry at the “open” edges of the box instead of turning off Closed boundaries on the pyro object.

from the internal help pages “pyro (smoke and fire) tools”

what do they mean “add sink geometry at the ‘open’ edges” ?
