Ingredients

8 × Thatch

1 × Flint

1 × Stone

3 × Wood or Fungal Wood

The Standing Torch functions as a source of light and heat, similar to a  Campfire or  Hand Torch. When placed, a standing torch can be filled with a fuel source (either  Thatch,  Wood,  Sparkpowder, or  AnglerGel) and lit. Also a  Torch can be insert as a light source. This is especially useful if the torch is equipped with a skin (e.g.  Torch Sparkler Skin) or if the torch has a higher quality and thus duration.

The standing torch offers up to a maximum of +100 hypothermal insulation and -50 hyperthermal insulation. This effect is reduced by distance from the torch.

The standing torch does not provide as much light as a hand-held  Hand Torch.

The  Lamppost, which connects to an electrical power grid, is a more advanced version of the standing torch.

Fuel

Fuel Item	Burn Time (Single Item)	Burn Time (Stack of 100)
Thatch	1m 40s	2h 46m 40s
Wood	6m 40s	11h 6m 40s
Sparkpowder	13m 20s	22h 13m 20s
AnglerGel	53m 20s	3d 16h 53m 20s
Torch	4m 26s*

* Torches will burn 1 durability point per time above. A standard torch with 40 points, will last 2 hours, 57 minutes, 20 seconds. So if you have a torch blueprint to make better torches, you will have far greater burn time.

Notes

• The Standing Torch is treated as a thatch structure and can be damaged by anything except non-explosive ranged attacks.

• The flame of the Standing Torch will turn blue when using  AnglerGel as fuel.
• The standing torch will use one piece of its fuel every time it is lit. Avoid turning the torch on and off if using AnglerGel, as this will quickly waste it.
