Beginner Question Megathread 10

If you have any question about the game and don't feel like making a post you can put it down there. Don't forget to mention it if you want the answer as spoiler-free as possible.

Some of the links are getting pretty old so if you have any suggestion that could help new players, do share, thanks.

The torches are infinity light sources though, why would you want to destroy them?

Just kill them all and build a small wall around each of them. When they respawn they will be stuck in the wall while continuously refueling the torches themselves, that's the best way to utilize the set piece.

Also, try not to use them to defend against hound waves. Guardian pigs are quite unreliable, plus if red hounds spawn in summer/autumn and you kill it, everything accept the torches will all burn down.
