Hi!

I've just started Houdini, and as a beginner I've faced multiple issues recently and among them, my fire simulation that doesn't want to slow down progressively. I must be going about this the wrong way, as I've seen quite a few posts on internet of the same type, but I can't get it to work.
I've tried using a retime node after a file cache to retime manually using the frame number so that I can get the flame goes fast at first, and then slow-mo after they break the floor.
In the end I would like the floor and the flame simulation to be in slow-motion together but I don't know yet how to merge their animation. I feel like I'm missing something and don't really understand how it works

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me, and explain what's wrong with my setup
