Lighting a torch with another already lit torch

[placidus33]

My wish is very simple and very realistic. Suppose I have 3 torches in my backpack. I use a fire or a match to light the first torch.
I'd like to be able to light a new torch with the first one (provided it's still lit), then discard the first one on the ground and so on.
It is a very natural thing you would do in real life if you are out of matches, it could be extremely helpful in Loper at least the first week of survival that's the hardest.
Other than that, I know it's quite silly, and of course almost useless in easier difficulty settings, but it seems to me extremely logic. If you have to walk from A to B with a light source and you have a good number of torches available, what do you do in real life? Do you wait for your torch to extinguish?

You can already do that and IIRC it's been a "thing" for a long time now.

Simply drop a lit torch on the ground, equip the new one and left-click on the lit torch.

Going thru caves (especially mines) early on is even easier now since you can pull out torches from fire and then just "chain" them thru entire system lighting one with each other.

My bad!!!! It didn't occur to me!!! Thanks mate. How many matches did I waste in all this time? LOL

Not always the most intuitive thing to do.

Given that we can now get torches (albeit with starting 30-40% condition) from a fire, instead of just walking away from a fire with perhaps a goodly amount of burn duration, pull a few torches from it. Not exactly light-weight, but get a bit more use out of the fire and you can leave them behind if weight is a problem. Hugely better than those ... um... urrr... brands.
