The Flare is a tool that is crafted using the fabricator.
It allows the player to illuminate dark caves with a stationary light source, thus making it easier for the player to defend themselves or to spot resources.
Recipe
Uses
The Flare can be ignited and thrown by selecting it from the toolbar and pressing RMB. This will cause the player to throw the flare slightly forwards, and then it will sink until it hits something. An active flare will emit a blueish light for about ten minutes.
The player can also pick up a Flare after it has been ignited. The ignited flare stays lit when in the players hand, illuminating an area around the player. The Flare seems to have a use limit.
The Flare will not despawn. Because of this the player can regularly throw a flare when exploring an intricate cave system. If the player needs to leave they can simply follow the trail of flares back to safety.
Since some hazardous creatures are attracted to light sources, such as Bone Sharks, the player can toss a Flare so that it sinks away from the player, thus distracting the creature.
