==Tips==<br />
Torches (including Ruined Torches) may be harvested into a stick, for just 2 minutes (in-game).<br />
<br />
Sticks can be found near trees on the ground. They can also be obtained by breaking down branches or [[Scrub Brush|scrub brush]]. It takes 10 minutes (5 with a hatchet) to break branch into three sticks.<br />
<br />
While sticks have one of the worst burning time to kg ratios (second only to [[Book|books]]), each stick adds 1°C to the fire, with each hour's worth of burn time adding 8°C to the fire. This causes large numbers of sticks to produce hot and relatively short-lived fires (most fuel sources yield 6°C per hour of burn time, [[Firelog|firelogs]] yield 10.5°C and [[coal]] yields 20°C).<br />
<br />
Sticks' short burn time gives control over a fire's duration, minimizing waste of fuel or matching timed tasks such as [[water (unsafe)|melting snow]] and [[water (potable)|boiling water]], or to extend a fire to harvest a [[torch]].<br />
<br />
Sticks can also be used as a basic compass, because when dropped they will point towards the "north" of the map when outdoors. Not all maps have a properly represented north as "up", but dropped sticks will always point in the same direction on the same map.<br />
<br />
It's commonly believed that sticks respawn after strong winds or blizzards, but this is untrue. Radial spawns (sticks, branches, coal, stones ect.) simply spawn on a randomized timer, independent of any weather conditions.<br />
