The '''blood torch''' is a piece of [[furniture]] that burns [[wood]] to light an area, while also generating a small amount of [[Temperature|heat]]. It also provides a small [[mood]] buff to [[sanguophages]] and other [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|bloodfeeders]].

== Acquisition ==
Blood torches are created during the [[Quests#Bloodthirsty Parley|Bloodthirsty Parley]] quest type - note that the name of each quest in game varies. During this quest a location on your map will be chosen, a blood torch placed at that spot, and three [[sangophage]]s will meet. Once placed, the torch will be left behind, regardless of the outcome of the quest. After this point, it can be refueled, uninstalled and reinstalled as any other building.

== Summary ==
A blood torch outputs [[light]] in a 10 tile radius, with the nearest {{P|Light Radius}} tiles being above 50% light level and considered lit. It heats the room to a maximum [[temperature]] of {{temperature|23}} at a rate of 3.5 heat per second.{{Check Tag|Exact mechanic unclear|Provides comparison with other heat sources but doesn't explain how much it actually heats}}

The blood torch consumes {{icon small|wood}} 1.5 [[wood]] per day as long as it is lit. If lit while unroofed under the [[rain]], it consumes an additional {{icon small|wood}} 0.0006 wood per {{ticks|1}}, or a total of {{icon small|wood}} {{#expr: 2+ (0.0006*60000)}} wood per day. It can hold up to {{icon small|wood}} 20 wood at a time, for a maximum run time of {{#expr:20/1.5 round 2}} days, or {{#expr:24*20/(1.5+ (0.0006*60000)) round 2}} hours if in constant rain. It is constructed with a full fuel capacity. Fuel is delivered to the torch by a [[Work#Haul|haulers]] as long as refueling is enabled. 

It cannot be "turned off" or paused, only deconstructed, in which case ''no wood'' is recovered, regardless of any "fuel" remaining.

It functions as a [[meditation focus]] for [[psycast]]ers with the Flame focus.{{RoyaltyIcon}} 

The blood torch provides a {{+|2}} ''Blood torch'' [[mood]] bonus to all pawns with the [[Genes#Bloodfeeder|Bloodfeeder]] gene inside its 10-tile maximum radius. This effect does not stack with multiple blood torches.
