=head2 X<faq_igniteandthaw>How do I thaw icecubes? Or: How do I ignite a torch? |
| 7 |
|

| 9 |
The right-click context menu in the L<Inventory|playerbook_inventory> reveals |
| 10 |
B<ignite/thaw>, which will ignite something or thaw icecubes. |
| 11 |
You will need a B<flint & steel> L<$ARCH/light/flint_and_steel.base.111.png> for this |
| 12 |
to work! |
| 13 |
|

An alternative would be to use the L<mark|command/mark> and L<apply|command/apply> |
| 15 |
commands like this: |
| 16 |

| 17 |
mark icecube |

apply flint and steel |
| 19 |

If you need to something do this often, I recommend using the L<Bind |
| 21 |
Recorder|binding_recorder>. |

support. |

If this is not an option, the following Setup options reduce the load and |
| 30 |
will likely make the client playable with software rendering (it will |
| 31 |
still be slow, though): |
