Firebrands and Flint & Steel

[CorwinOfAmber]

Firebrands take too much stamina still for them to go out half the time in the middle of lighting things. Flint & Steel is limited use, ok the flint broke, but, GIVE ME BACK MY STEEL YOU THIEF I SPENT DAYS WAITING AND WATCHING THAT CRAP!!! If you wont improve crappy firebrands because you hate sprucecaps ok but do us a favor and make firesteel a separate object to craft before flint and steel and give me back my piece of steel!

Could make it use flint as a renewable resource like tar is for torches.

You could also make a tinder sack for holding your flint and steel so you can keep more charges to light things on fire instead of the one time ready use if you really feel like clicking flint and steel consumes so much rock(and at the moment steel ).

uh, a bar of steel can make like 5 flint and steel, and at q40 provides 20 uses each... you only need to light 1 fire a day

gotta support this. its stupid that i have to use up more valuable steel. i dont wanna restrict using flint and steel on JUST campfires and then use a torch on everything else. i may as well just use the firebrand on the campfire.

speaking of firebrands, can we make them last longer the higher quality they are?

They already should.

And two branches can light that one fire, so what's the point in wasting steel on it? I want it to have more practical use as well, as making steel for hermits is a pain in the ass. Making flint & steel after hating firebrands for so long just for it to be limited use is a huge kick in the head and seems silly. It's a pain right now trapped between wasting almost a whole bar of stamina rubbing sticks together or wasting that shiny piece of steel that could be better used on things that would do more valuable jobs.
