Add a lighter to the game

[Rifleman]

Useful for starting fires, seeing in the dark and also gives you a extra 3°C when lit.

Accelerate can be used to refill the lighters.

Oooh, omg omg that gave me an idea. So you know how separate body parts will get separate warmth bonuses? Doesnt that mean matches and lighters would warm your hands? (And possibly face)

That's actually a very good point - it's kind of hard warming up your legs and feet with a match or lighter

In order not to derail the topic completely, here's my take on it: Yes! Should be a rare find though and use accelerant as fuel. Also, I do believe the warmth bonus is too large - it's a lighter, not a blowtorch  +1°c would completely suffice. Another effect could be a bonus on firestarting since matches can sometimes randomly go out whereas with lighters, especially storm lighters such as Zippos, that's less of a concern.

If you hold a lighter for a long time it gets very hot. Also a match gives you +1°c and it's less valuable then a lighter.

Oh goodness, I shouldn't have asked. Sorry

Just saying, the in-game description of accelerant bottles describes them as

Low-volume fuel source designed to help start fires; ex. lighter fluid.

I will add that to the topic.

Lighters use a range of fuels, from naphtha (a family of petroleum derivatives very similar to kerosene/paraffin) to liquefied butane. All depends on the design.
