How exactly did redigit want people to use torches?

[Lucien Lachance]

Prior to the infamous bad luck torch update, why did they hate normal torches? Am I not supposed to light my way when I can't see things? Just curious as to the reasoning behind the whole torch luck system (which now has no bad luck, only good luck these days).

[Lucien Lachance]

Or maybe the better question was WHY did they want to punish people for trying to light their way?

This is to force us to use different torches, since honestly, i was always using basic ones and ultrabright and gave no check to any other.

From what I've seen, Redigit (one of the devs) hated the fact that people used "the wrong torches" and decided to punish that.

You'd get the torch god thing and not worry.

Sommun the Torch God and gain his favor in order to get good Juju.

Yeah I just did the torch god thing, too bad I've already placed literally thousands of regular torches all over the map XD. Guess I gotta start a new world lmao

There were lots of Torches, but people didn't care about them except for some building projects because they had no benifit.

Why craft a torch that works just the same by using a torch and another material?

So they made it so that using biome specific torches in the right place gives good luck. That would've been a good end to the story.
But someone decided to also add bad torch luck to punish players for not abiding to the system (which in general is a bad thing these days based on typical player bases).

Therefore they removed the bad luck, but people still complained that it was too hard to get good luck (like really difficult to craft Ice Torches with Ice Blocks and torches from your inventory) so they added the Torch God thing that replaces Biome Torches with the right version.

So now you get all the benifits of increased drop and spawns with no backsides for no effort (except dodging 100 torch bolts once)

Redigit just likes to troll the community.
I mean it's quite obvious from most of his discord posts.

Do I have to go around changing every torch I've placed in my homeworld now to get good luck? Might just move my home to another world haha I've placed at least 3000+ torches for sure

Just do it in areas that you plan on drop farming.

i bet one dev was to lazy to grind for a rare item and begged to add the luck system.

They are devs. They can get their items with one click... Why would they... Make a luck system... Because they can't drop something... They can get instantly?

Yes. You HAVE to go around and destroy every torch. Go and destroy them all now!

I hate using normal touches in every biome I think it ruins the atmosphere

Wait, new player here. What is this torch luck thing? I've just been using ordinary torches everywhere I go.
