s+ standing torch
Google says it doesn't need fuel. It indeed will not let me put wood or thatch in its inventory. I can hit E to light it, but in about 30 seconds it goes out by itself.

How do you keep it lit?

Excellent. Ty!

Also, just in case you wanted to use them to hatch eggs, S+ standing torches don't produce heat.

Uh that's wrong. They do produce heat. Unless there's a setting I've configured for them to, which I don't think I have done. Cos I use them for the exact thing you said (egg hatching)

Well, will have to have a look at our config because they don't for us.
Thanks.

The torches do produce heat but is far from enough to incubate an agg in a fast enough manner.

Eggs don't incubate faster or slower. They either incubate or they don't. Enough torches incubate an egg excluding those that need cold temps of course

can also put dyes in the torch to change its colour

my problem is that every time I change the "automatic turn on/off" setting on the torch, my changes aren't saved even though I pressed "Update" It keeps happening and It won't stop undoing my settings

1. You didnt need to necro a 2 year old thread to discuss this.

2. S+ has its own forums on its workshop page. Not everyone on general forums uses the mod thus limiting getting answers(including from those who most familiar with the workings of the mod.

3. S+ just got an update this past week. It is potentially possible that the update reset/changed settings.

4. Game updates in general also can reset player settings.

5. You could be also using (very rare possibility) another mod that is conflicting with S+. Again doubtful. I'm more inclined to this it was point 3.

There are a lot of bugs since the S+ update. I saw someone else reported this bug and so the dev is aware of it. Just have to wait for the bugs to be fixed now.

This only changes the brightness of the torch, not the temp

SS is also less likely to be abandoned like S+ was for over a year.
