Torches should be equippable and make colonits have the ability to burn objects walls and etc.

Because why do i need to burn corpses with molotov when I have a torch used for lighting. Like why can't I just use the torch.

I think it would be simpler to just have it be a basic pawn action. Whenever they're drafted and you right-click a burnable object, have an option to ignite X. I mean, pyros do it... raiders do it... and our colonists don't need any special tools to make campfires or fireplaces in the first place. They don't even need one of those clicker things to start the stove with.

I think we need new items.

Flint&Stone for tribals and
Lighters for outlanders.

So that pyros cant set fire if they dont have either. Haha.

Human bodies are around 60% water. You aren't going to set it on fire with a torch, or hell, even a bog-standard bonfire.

Finally, all tools are abstracted in this game. Your pawns don't chop down trees by punching them, or make things by staring at them intently. They have tools

something else: it would be cool if you could pour chemfuel on the ground to be light on fire when raiders are standing on it or to make a giant fire to burn bodies
