McSkelly's Torch Rework

Description
What it do?

Light-affecting skills and torch micromanagement in general rarely matter in Vanilla, so I made this mod to make managing your torchlight a little harder and force you to play in the dark more.
  • Torch stack size decreased to 4
  • Torches increase Light level by 65
  • Torch burnrate per tile increased to 8
  • Torch burnrate when backtracking increased to 2
  • Shambler Spores will start appearing in hallway fights under 25 Torchlight

Great idea increasing the light bonus from torches, which just seems a simple bonus at first, but has an effect on how you play.

Stop-loss aversion will now keep you from brainlessly firing torches everytime the light level is 75 - that is: assuming you want to play it safe. (I prefer a value of +50, however).

One addition I made - and one I think would probably also work well with this mod, given it's philosophy- is that Camping reduces Torchlight by -50, instead of increasing it. Preventing an ambush remains just as viable. And no more "free" light from camping (where is that coming from, anyway).

It's not suppose to be a nerf, but a rework to how torches work and how you mange the light level.

not painful enough nerf light level to 25 each for maximum fun value.

Exactly what I was looking for. Actually makes controlling light levels more dynamic/challenging. Rather then having 1 torch = 1 light level. The only thing I would change is maybe increase the price of each torch a bit to better reflect their size; penalize snuffing out the torch and immediately going back to 100% torch light.

Other then that, it's almost scary how exact this mod reflects a custom edit I had. Good stuff.

This changed how I think about the gameplay completely, in a good way. Fantastic job

I like this mod a lot, but imo the stack size reduction is taking it too far.

absolutely :stress: inducing

the suspense at 40ish torch is *palpable*

The challenge added to dungeon crawling by this mod is balanced really well and doesn't necessarily make the rest of dungeon crawling any harder. :stress:
Perfect mod, in my opinion.
