torches need to burn longer or forever

[donut32]

too many torches and the fire pals spend the whole day just lighting them over and over

Good to know. I haven't built any torches. My base is dark at night.

Then cut down on the torches? Its not like they are required, they are purely convenience.

Build a power generator and place electric lights o.o

[warlock]

No so firefox burn it along with your house

Use campfires for light, they never go out, they are also small so you can stick them in a corner.

Fire pals will ignite them

Put multiple chairs one on top of another and then a fireplace on top - it'll work like a lamp and does not need to be re-ignited.

Do you cut them with an axe? or dismantle them.

Just make sure the fire not blocking their path. I put one of those right in the middle and some of the larger pals would constantly catch fire and get hurt.

Do they affect pal sanity? Wasn't sure. noticed things like "poor work conditions" and wasn't sure if lighting was one of the minor factors

i hate torches for the reason your kindling pals spend most of their time messing about and if they cannot path they basically go dormant.

jesus christ haha.
I agree with them lasting longer and not forever. For example in Valheim they are not forever but they are way more than a single day for sure.

One thermal for five pals is a good number (for me).
So at 15 pals you want three thermals in your base.
Also food matters. Baked Berries only gives one sanity, now a cotton candy for example gives five, easy to get and works like a charm early game.

I still prefer how this work currently over having to constantly going in to throw burning material into my torch or fire. It has been so refreshing. But for big cool bases I can see how this could become tedious fast.
