Torches Burning Out

[Anakarr 0]

Not really liking this added mechanic...

 

I undertsand that it lends a bit more "realism" to the game/mod... But I feel that stuff like this is going too far. If you add TOO much "realism" the game becomes less fun. I liked TFC because of the in-depth alloy system and agriculture, but I dont want to necissarily spend a good chunk of time gathering sticks and replacing dead torches, thats just tedious and uneeded...

You do know that you can relight a torch after it's burned out right? Torches in your inventory never go out, and you can use them to relight burned out torches.

 

There's also a config option to turn the mechanic off if you dislike it so much.

That makes it a slight bit better. Least it doesnt have to be light outside to light the torch. Now THAT would be a pain in the arse...

A simple solution is the jack o lanterns. They dont burn out. I use the decorations add on which features lanternsthat look really nice, are realistic and above all dont burn out.

Or add the decoration addon to have lanterns

i simply set it so my torches burn out after a month. they give me plenty of light when i come back from adventuring, but still get sniffed in the rain.

Also, you can "refill" torches by rightclicking them with another torch, even if they're still burning. I keep some torches on me and whenever I pass a torch I refill it. It takes some getting used to but it's not difficult. Plus, the decorations mod adds beautiful lanterns, so you can also use those.
