Are wall torches supposed to be safe ?

[Catalyst]

I was like "YAY RTX!" and so i set up some torches, assuming they were "safe" lightsources, however, for the second time my outpost went down (the wood part anyway) but stone only isnt really aesthetically acceptible


maybe they're not supposed to be safe ? in that case i can try to accomodate by putting them on stone sections only , however ...

aesthetically speaking (lol) ...

just asking ?

I burnt down a wood build of mine with those bloody things.

"Ah ♥♥♥♥ yeah these look sick" *puts it high up on the wall and starts crafting ♥♥♥♥*

Dont place them near the ceiling if you are still using wood. :) Catches fire everytime. About halfway up the wall has always worked for me and base didnt burn down.

Nothing is safe if you don't use it properly. They're fine as long as you do place it close to anything flammable vice versa.

Oh yeah, the grenades suck btw, and they can CTD if you toss them near a building

yass thx ... i mix wood and stone mostly now in outpost ... you know, "just stone" is so cold, i dont have the electric lights yet but the lantern to carry is really hard lighting . I use a mix of standing torches and wall torches high up on beams that stand separately and one or two on stone beams which i place close to the floor so the flames cant possibly lick the ceiling

so far a €20 that doesnt feel wasted ... but i see ark and valheim pumping out updates like mad in the last two weeks, maybe they're on the offensive

which is good

it means they havent gone all-console and should push these guys a little

find out if its a hit 'n run scheme by february but for 20 i will have had my moneys worht he

its a slow love affair ... but i like it although it shows how RTX is NOT realtime raytracing ... but that could be just unreal engine not yet completely adapted to it , however

i fear its a post-processing thing, not bouncing photons, just open and close some doors and windows next to torches and drop carry-lanterns from high towers

you'll see

the torches work in a sphere on the pixels too so there's some "light"-bleeding on the outside, even if you look from up high like ten blocks up

since im not on the dev-team i cant say if thats nvidias salespitch scam, unreal engine or just the werkz getting used to it

room for improvement, if the card doesnt do it properly its fast enough so it should be possible to "hack around it"

... ganbarrei .. its a lot of money for me this thing

i like to see what it can do in capable hands
