Torch uses Matches

[WeylandYutani]

Like the Title says my Torch uses the good Matches instead of anything else, is that inteded ? It even uses 2 Matches for lighting up a Torch. I thought the stuff you can create or harvest from Plants gets used by the Torch instead of Matches.

You light the torch with matches... that’s just pretty logic... so avoid games like starting to light it and abort.. you are wasting your matches

Thats right but then without Matches its literally Game over.

You can start a fire with a firestriker or mag lans, or a flare. Pull a lower % torch from a fire, move and light a new fire from the torch before it goes out, pull a new lower quality torach from that fire befire it goes out, move again, lather, rinse, repeat.

It isn't "Game Over" if you have no matches. You need to use creativity and use what you have to light fires effectively and efficiently. If you waste firestarters, you kill yourself off.

Found a Box so ;) anyway my biggest issue are Wolves, i can kill them pretty easy but fending one off, i wont say its impossible but impossible for me so far. Stones didnt work, Torch, Flare, Flashlight etc, i even tried it on a Save to find out the best way, looked up Guides etc and nothing worked. Dont get me wrong i dont want to be easy but i want it to work or have they removed this Mechanic aswell ? Btw yes i tried it when the Wolf moved towards me and when he was you know standing and grrrrrr. Only thing that worked was a Bullet in the Head "."

When the wolfs are going "Grrrrrr" when you are holding a torch or something else. you can throw your flare infront of its face to scare it off. It will run away provided you land the object right underneath its face.

I will try that next time thanks

As long as you aren’t carrying items that give off scent I’ve pretty much just walked away from wolves with hem following me so many times, as long as you don’t get too close to begin with. This is on original stalker mode.

Having a lit torch or flare generally will mean they keep their distance more. There are set states of wolf behaviour and you can actually get away with a lot.
