Fuel decides this craft. Wood and cloth come off the first tree and the first hemp plant, while low grade fuel either drops from a road barrel or gets made from animal fat, which means killing something first. The torch you lose at dusk is paid for by the boar you killed at noon.
Type in one torch and the calculator shows three fuel left over. A fuel craft always yields four, so queue torches in fours and nothing waits in your pockets: one for your hand, the rest for the torch holders by the door.
The skinned torches are not separate crafts. Own the Abyss torch or another skin and you pick it when you craft this one, at this exact bill, so choose by look, unless you plan to dive.
