Road flares as an alternative to matches

[Killer21334 0]

Im new to the forums(and the game) so im sorry if this was suggested/discussed before.

So Ive noticed that road flares are extremley common as opposed to matches(according to the wiki and my personal experience) so maybe we could use road flares as an alternative to matches when lighting a fire? while it would make the game easier it would actually be realistic for survivors to make alternatives to resources that are scarce(and the flares can be a realistic substitute for matches).

I agree.

Can be more realistc because matches are infinite inside a packet.

Hey nice idea :) - the flares may be really common but it makes sense and the extra noise and light that is given off when a flare is used would offset the benefit of being able to start fires more easily.
