Looting

Lit torches do not appear placed in any ruins , however, extinguished or burned out torches do appear as loot in collapsed chests.

Usage

  • Your very first "extinguished" torch must be lit either on a firepit , or with a firestarter .
  • It takes no fuel to use a lit torch to light a placed extinguished torch.
  • Torches provide light when held in the main and off hand.
  • When placed on the ground or on a wall, they last for 48 hours before turning into burnt out torches.
  • Torches can be also used for lighting firepits or setting grass or wooden-based materials on fire.
  • Torches can be used as a makeshift weapon (range attack : 2 m). Whilst dealing poor damage they have a chance of setting the enemy on fire.
  • If they are rained on, they turn into extinguished torches. These may be relit with another torch placed on a solid block (not in a torch holder), a firepit , a forge , a pit kiln , a bloomery . To do that, just click shift+  on the heat source, with the unlit torch in hand.
  • If the player enters deep water, any torches in the main or off hand are extinguished.
  • Burned out torches are decorative only. They cannot be re-ignited in a firepit. They cannot be crafted in a normal survival game.
Protip:
When carrying torches, only hold one in your hand. If you fall in water, you only need to relight one torch!


Preventing burnout

  • If one wants to place torches such that they do not burn out over time, a torch holder can be constructed via brass plates or found in ruins. These torch holders, when equipped with a torch on a block, keep the torch lit indefinitely, though it may extinguish if flooded or exposed to rain.
  • If you do not have any torch holder, breaking a lit torch before it burns out will put it back into your inventory. You can then place it again where it was, the 48 hours timer will be reset.
