Torches

A Torch is a piece of Furniture that produces light. They can be carried by the player when selected in the hotbar and can be placed on most surfaces of solid blocks (excluding the underside). Torches can also be dropped, to provide a mobile light source as it falls.

Once placed, Torches give off light permanently. A placed Torch can be retrieved by right-clicking on it, breaking it with a hammer, or breaking all blocks that could support it. If a torch has blocks on two or more sides, it will attach to another block when the one it is attached to is removed. Torches will prefer to attach to blocks beneath them, then to their left, then to their right.

Torches do not function under water: a Torch thrown into water will not emit light once it submerges, and if a player enters water &mdash; even shallow water &mdash; with a Torch selected in the hotbar, the torch will not be visible and will emit no light. Placed Torches are doused by running water and knocked loose, dropping as an item. Glowsticks or Cursed Torches can be used instead.

Torches interact with wires, and can be toggled off/on by them.

Torches can be crafted by hand. If no Wood or Gel is available, they can be purchased from the Merchant for 50 Copper Coins each.

Shortkey
Holding the Auto-Select key (defaults to Left Shift) with the cursor over air-filled tile (ie empty or wall only, and not underwater) will automatically prepare the torches in your inventory, allowing for quick placement or easy access to light.
