Floor-Standing Torch

The Floor-Standing Torch is a portable light source that can be placed anywhere to illuminate dark areas without requiring a Bonfire or any other base infrastructure. It is invaluable for lighting up cave entrances, dungeon paths, nighttime work areas, and forward camps far from your main settlement.

Unlike the Bonfire, the Floor-Standing Torch serves no function beyond illumination. It does not provide comfort, cooking, or respawn capabilities. However, its low material cost and freedom of placement make it the most flexible lighting option in the game. You can place as many as you need to light up large areas or mark trails.

Craft Floor-Standing Torches at the Workbench and carry a few in your inventory whenever you explore new territory. They pair well with Tents for establishing temporary forward camps with both light and a revival point. Use them to illuminate the perimeter of your base for nighttime visibility and to mark important landmarks or resource nodes for easy navigation.
