How do I turn on a flash light, use chem lights and start a fire?

Sorry for so many questions lol

L is flashlight by default iirc.

Chemlights can be selected by using F, and then held or thrown.

A fire you will need matches and a pile of wood. Right click on your matches and select 'make a fireplace' or something then mousewheel on the fireplace to give you the option to light fire.

I totally read the title as "How do I turn on my fleshlight", was expecting an extremely awkward thread xD

Well, I'll list them for ease:

Flashlight: Open your inventory with 'G', right click the flashlight and select 'Remove from toolbelt' and make sure your sidearm slot is empty, the flashlight will move into the sidearm slot and then you press 'L' to switch it on. (It can be finicky sometimes so if it doesn't switch on, trying looking at the ground and pressing 'L').

Chemlights: If you have chemlights in your inventory, press 'F' to change your firing mode to 'Chemlight'.

Fire: You need 2 of 3 things, an axe or a pile of logs and some matches. If you have an axe, use it to 'Harvest wood' from a tree, if you have logs, place them on the ground and use your matches with them.

Hope I helped a little bit.

To use the flashlight you have to remove it from your toolbelt and equip it. It will however replace your handgun so if you have a handgun you need to put it in your pack first. Once you have it equipped you need to hit the L key to toggle it on and off.

If you have chemlights in your inventory pus the F key until chemlight id displayed in the top right corner of your screen then push left click to throw it. You can then go and pick it up and carry it for a light source.

To start a fire you need to have both a pile of wood in your inventory and matches on your tool belt. Press G to open your inventory then right click on you box of matches, this will give you the option to make fireplace left click to make the fireplace. Once you have done that scroll to light fire and left click.

Oh, and just to add... right click on the flashlight in inventory to remove it from your toolbelt and press L to light it. F to switch to chemlights and primary mouse to through... then you can scroll on them and choose to pick them up or extinguish them.

For fire, you'll need a pile of wood... ;)

Your flashlight should have a power switch or button, but make sure you have batteries first.

For chemlights, bend from both ends as though you are going to break it in half [don't actually break it in half though, you will look like a pleb]. You will hear a crack as the compartment that holds one of the two chemicals breaks open, allowing the liquids to mix inside. Results should be instant.

As well as a pile of wood & matches, you may need some kindling & small pieces of bark, dry grass etc to start a fire. Good luck!

id like if you could equip something and use it by pressing lmb.

Ok I used chemlights once and it worked really well. I just tried to use them again and it just keeps throwing one out of the five at a time and wont stay lite.

Also I just made a fire pit and it disappeared. I tried making it in a room on a roof top. Would the location have made it disappear?

Run around yelling "help, friendly!" find a person with a scarf covering their face (it's a skin you can find for protection from flying sand/dirt), they usally know what to do and are willing to help.
