5 years ago I'd be in favor of molten wax fluids fyi. I mean, after looking at cheese-making I think it's difficult to argue that melting wax is too great a "level of complexity". Having solid color liquids could also be cool from an aesthetic standpoint for various builds.
As a block, candles will be able to placed into the world and act like a torch, but also give off a heat source value.
As a item, candles will be able to be placed into a Fondue Pot to provide an internal heat source.
Candles should be able to "burn down". This brings up a discussion point as to whether or not there should be a deco only version that would replace torches.
There will be all 16 colors. This will leverage all of the waxes produced from Growthcraft Bees.
The process for making candles is very simple. Melt the wax, dip a string in and out of the wax to form the layers. Initial thoughts are to use the Brew Kettle to melt the wax and then add a string, to result in item output only of the candle. Problem with this is that the kettle only receives fluids and we would have to add a Melted Wax Fluid for each wax and at this point it doesn't make sense to add that level of complexity.
Another option would be to simply create a recipe with wax and string. This would simplify the process and make it easily available during multiple stages in the game.
