Flares

Flares are an item in NEO Scavenger Extended.

Often found in storage sheds, these flares will light the way for two whole turns before dying out, and can also be used to improve Scavenging odds, increasing both loot and safety at the cost of stealth. The lit flare essentially works like a Torch, except unlike the Torch it shows the surrounding hexes as well. Holding the lit flare warms you a little, but also makes you really easy to spot. You can use a lit flare to threaten animals, which increases the odds of them retreating. Up to 4 flares can be in one stack.
