Fire from magnifying glass

I don't see how it would be too situational

it only works outside during the day

I don't see how it would be OP

an option to slow down the consumption of matches/flint & steel

What I see is another push to avoid using the numerous balanced options we have.
I predict once this gets added no one will use it and people will start pushing for another version of firemaking.
Its not interesting game development, its not fun, it doesn't add anything meaningful.

Random chance to accidentally somehow mess up so that the sun focuses in your eyes, causing total blindness. -100% perc

I wouldn't say fire making has an inordinate amount of options. It's not interesting or meaningful by itself but not many individual implementations are. The quantity of options for a given purpose, and the differing availability of materials across the world, together create the emergent gameplay that differentiates one settlement from another and prevents the world from feeling the same all over.

Nice motivational speech but I ain't buying it. You just don't want to use current firemaking mechanics.

Shit, foiled again!
