    Suggestion:
    Edit a few additions from this suggestion. Currently I suggest to decrease the spawn rate for:
    • Cobwebs (Seem to always spawn in a stack of 5)
    • Flint and Steel (reduce to 1-2 use per flint and steel)
    With this in mind, we should also edit TNT to have the ability to explode upon being placed. Having to light the TNT usually just causes annoyance with in gameplay.

    Reason:
    These new items all have a great impact on the gameplay (positive) here on ECC, however, when the spawn-rate of these items are rather high, it usually can cause unnecessary spamming of cobwebs/flint and steel. This 'spamming' results in irritation/displeasure and in general less enjoyment.

    Any Other Information: N/A

    +1 I'd enjoy this much more, making the flint and steel less overpowered

    Flint and steel shouldn't be in chests at all. It's in a kit.

    I agree with you, and that's exactly why I had made the suggestion to add it to Survival Games in the first place. However, when you're given the opportunity to basically create a 20x20 home out of cobwebs, trapping yourself within it, it should be reduced.

    With the addition of cobwebs/flint n' steel, we must also include the discussion of limitation. You should not be able to 'spam' fire/cobwebs with the intentions of eventually getting the person.

    We cannot decrease the usage amount of flint and steel.
    We will however decrease cobwebs to 3, and make cobwebs and flint and steel more rare.

    Thanks for the suggestion, implementing now. Please give it a few days before requesting further changes to these SG additions to allow everyone to truly see the affect it has on game play.

    Flint and steel will have less uses if found outside of a kit in SG pending the next server restart as requested above :)
