Extreme Firestarters Reforged (reforge of Extreme Firestarters)

Immersive mod that adds several tiered firestarters including bow drills, flint and steel, matches, and a crude lighter. Each firestarter has stats that affect how fast and easy it is to start a fire. Lower tiers are made worse to reflect difficulty starting a fire from scratch, but higher tiers are faster than a torch.

Requires:

InsanityLib

Current Features:

6 New firestarters all of which have different speed / succes rater / satiety cost / durability
New class trait that increases fire starting capabilities (Hunter and Malefactor)
(+) Reworked torch mechanics, lit torches must now be in main or off hand slot (fear not: you can turn this off in the config)

Compatibility:

Better Death Messages (for custom death messages, if you somehow manage to die from starting a fire)
Config lib (through InsanityLib)

DISCLAIMER: This is a "reforge" meaning a lot was refactored, if another mod made compatibility for the original it will have to be reworked.

Reworked torch mechanics, lit torches must now be in main or off hand slot (configurable, like almost everything else) By default when torch moves out of main/off hand it will automatically extinguish, to prevent accidental extinguish it will by default prevent changing slots through scrolling/numbers (with in game warning) if you are holding a torch in main hand. Additionally you are only able to pickup torches into main/off hand.

zakhad, this was an issue with the reworked torch mechanic it tried to extinguish a torch (possibly modded) that didn't have an extinguished variant, should no longer crash on new update.

Crash Report

I was just doing inventory tetris and i'm not sure why it crashed i didn't move a firestarter but there was a crude one on the ground so maybe i picked it up into my offhand or something that it didn't like i'm not sure.

Recipe was indeed outdated, fixed in new update Velaroz

💬 Velaroz, Nov 13th at 9:39 PM (modified Nov 13th at 9:58 PM)

Hey, I'm having an issue with making the matches. Does the recipe require a specific kind of container for holding the glue when making matches?

Edit:

I think the recipe for the matches is outdated, using just pitch glue on its own from back when it could be handled on its own directly, rather than being a fluid that needed a container, like a bowl/jug/bucket, as glue inside a container does not work for the recipe.

💬 ErikaVenice, Nov 11th at 9:02 AM

no way, i was litterally looking into this mod the other day and found out it was not compatible, i had even made aquavitae for this specific mod before trying to install!

thanks so much!!! :)

💬 DecaByte, Nov 8th at 7:30 PM

Great! Glad someone picked this one up. I always thought starting fires was a bit limited. Thanks!
