How do you set things on fire on purpose?

[Tarka]

I've seen several discussions involving using fire to kill enemies etc. And after a pyromaniac burned down an entire map of forest on day one, slash and burn techniques look promising.

But there does not appear to be any option to tell a colonist to set something on fire. Is it necessary to draft them and make them throw a molotov at the thing you want burned, or use some other roundabout method?

also incendary launchers, or for automatic action the IEDs

Yea you can't order pawns to set things on fire like a pyro does. With a moltov or incendiary launcher equiped, draft and target what you want torched. Maybe a mod will allow the pyro way. Never looked for one. GL HF

Edit: you can get inventive with Boomrats & Boomalopes too. /hmm how many boomrats will fit in a pod launcher~

Molotovs.
