Starting fire with a flare

[simarson]

I was standing ad a barrel want to make fire with a active flare in my hand (wolf encounter). It hit me why not make a fire with the flare. I look it up in youtube and this guy show you it can be done. Its also very sure and fast.

I really think you should consider it.

When you light a flare, it becomes a different type of item in your inventory. I'm almost certain that you can use this "lit flare" to start a fire already.

When you enter the "start fire" interface, it should show up in the same list as matches, magnifying glass, etc. as an option to start a fire.

The key is, you have to have it lit when you try to start a fire.

The flare must be lit, then you can start a fire with it. The same applies to a torch.

Did not know that. Will try it next time in game.
