I agree. Torch should be changed to a lantern so that it can be a utility item like your tools, and only used when needed at night. (Hangs from something you are wearing or a makeshift strap for the lantern to hang off of depending on tier.) Make it have different tiers like the tools. Lantern should have durability like the tools, and also have fuel. Speed at which the fuel burns would depend on what tier fuel you use as well. I'd say wood/fiber/poison water would be ideas of fuel. (Just throwing something out there.) Weapon switch would be nice to have in a fight that way we could carry 2 different weapons or carry the torch in one weapon set then switch to a weapon to fight in battle.

These are just ideas to get the devs thinking.

So, from what I understand, it would be nice to switch weapons especially between ranged and melee, however, I just used the glowing mushroom juice and could use my regular weapons. Also, the torch is a weak melee weapon.

as it is right now, torch is almost useless. the only way to overcome the night without the mushroom jiuce is to just stand in a place holding torches and wait for it to pass, because if you move around with a torch equipped you are dead.

Glowing Mushroom Juice is the way to go. Drink it a little bit before night truly hits and you'll have more than enough time to spare before daylight hits.
