ZenFlint

What Is This?

This mod adds a fire-starting Flint to the game.

The flint spawns in the world like any other item, but it cannot be used on its own.

You need to combine a steel object with it (knife, axe, even some tools like crowbars and screwdrivers will work).

Once you've "paired" a tool with the flint, now you can use it to light fires like any other match/lighter object.

Using the flint will damage the tool (eg. knife) you're using over time and it only has a 20% chance of lighting a fire with each action use, but the Flint itself has quite a high quantity and will last a very long time if found at full quantity.

It cannot be repaired or have its quantity restored - once its used up, it's done for.

Items That Can Strike Flint
