Manual Firestarter

Some call it fire making others call it stick rubbing!

Mod from the Manual mods series that aims to take a more immersive approach to daily tasks.

Be aware this mod completely changes the firestarter core gimmick only for the sake of gameplay complexity

It replaces the automatic RNG mechanic from the vanilla firestarter with a more manual and grounded mechanic.

Firestarter recipe is now simply two sticks. No more dry grass on the recipe. The model is also changed to visually represent it.

It also replaces item names/descriptions/ingame help tooltips, to help you navigate the mod.

Steps for using a firestarter:

Place one drygrass on the ground (Yes the first step to build a firepit) this will be used as tinder:

Right click with a firestarter on the drygrass

Your character will hold the sticks and prepare for the handrill.
Also pay attention at the right of the screen, that's where the heat meter will show.

Now quickly alternate between lmb and rmb clicks:

Do it until the heat meter goes all the way up

Now you're holding hot tinder, yes your firestarter is gone DO NOT PANIC, it will return to you (if it didn't break with durability)
Now Bring and right click with the tinder to were you need to light a fire, either a firepit, or a oven... any ignitable block.

Changing slots holding hot tinder will make you discard it.

That's it congrats!

Configs:

You can tweak:
"TargetValue": How much progress is required to complete the firestarting minigame.
"GainPerValidClick": Progress added for each valid alternating click (LMB/RMB alternation).
"DecayTickIntervalMs": How often progress decays once decay has begun.
"DecayPerTick": How much progress is removed each decay tick.
"Accessibility": When true, overrides certain values to make firestarting significantly easier for players with hand impairments.
