I just tested and it looks good! But taking 30 logs while standing 24000 ticks is too short, as campfire takes 35 logs and can be there for 40000 ticks.

EDIT: Also the torch is overlapped by conduit. It's because torch's altitudeLayer is set to FloorEmplacement, which is same as conduit. Consider change it to higher altitude, like Waist.

Will do - I'll also make the torch's resource's a little less.

EDIT: Fixed.

I guess you're right - I was thinking like you, I mostly somewhere to the south but not directly Sarranid territory. I was thinking Swadian or Rhodok. Thanks. :)

I just played a game and specifically looked for the fighting pick. I found it in the shops in the Vaegir territory. I rarely ever go in that region for anything except sea raider battles, so that's why I never saw it before.

Alright, it'll be included in the Vaegir faction.

Using a half of one full-grown tree as a torch? HALF of FULL grown TREE? How do you imagine it?
half of... full... grown.. tree.... is a torch.

How about make it cost few sheets of cloth and reduce wood cost?

Hm.. 15 wood and 3 cloth?

I'm think it must 1-2 logs (wood) and not standing torchs, but wall torchs (as a small lamp in advanced lamps).
Torch no need to heat (as a campfire). Torch must only emit light. Heat - is a byproduct, not a purpose of torch.
Because of this all - it light area longer with smaller quantity of material.
It's my logic.

2 logs is too cheap. I know this is temporary but campfires provide both heat and light and only cost 35 logs, and they last for longer, which is why I'm saying 15 wood and 3 cloth. And, wall torches don't really look that good in the game, in my opinion.

But this is illogical. Torchs is first-time temporary light source. They must be cheap. And if used mod for cotton fiber - cloth will be not first material for making torch. 

Do what you want, however.

But they need to be balanced. 3 wood is way too cheap - plus, I'd probably make it so you could use leathers in it instead of just cloth. In truth, it's not about making a cheap alternative to a light source, it's more about something that is balanced and fits early game.

It's not cheap for temporary light source for one day. It's normal.

I'd prefer moderate amount of cost with even longer lifespan.

I'll actually redo the poll with that info.

20 wood and 3 cloth, burns for 2 or 1.5 days?
