Hot & Cold Forever Tiki Torches!

Description
Hot & Cold Forever Tiki Torches!

Decorative and useful tiki totems craftable under the light tab!
The mod wasn't made originally by me, I just highly modified it to make two torches, adjust the light area and make them warm you or cool you down, depending on the torch you stand next to.
The original tiki torches were made by shtornovi which you can access here: Always On Tiki Torch!

Why is this mod good/better than the original
The original mod (while works fine) hasn't really adjusted to the heat and cold problems of Reign of Giants. Also the more torches you build in your world the laggier your game becomes. It can't be helped, it's just a game engine problem. The more animated light sources the game needs to render per minute obviously the more resources the game will need to run. The only way you can reduce this is by building as few light sources as possible, only the needed ones. Which is pretty bad because I like to light up my roads, my caves etc. Thus highly increasing the light range per tiki torch is an effective method for having to build less light sources but still make it possible to light up the areas you need.

Now there are two Tiki Torches!
The regular one which you can use to warm yourself up, cook food with and light up areas.
And the cold tiki torch which you can use to cool yourself down, cook food with and light up areas as well.
The regular one needs 3 logs and 1 manure.
The cold one needs 3 logs and 1 nitrite.

I'm a horrible programmer (I have dyscalculia thus mathematical-logic based stuff are very hard to me so it took me 8 hours just to make this mod work...) so I couldn't make the flame on the top of the cold tiki torch sit as tight as on the original hot one. If you can feel free to fix it and let me know so I can update this mod. Thanks!

@emichela Yes, of course. I could if I played. Or at least I had some experience with DST coding or porting but... sadly I don't because I don't play DST so I have no idea how to do this. Sadly. But eventually, when I've finished DS campaign (story mode?) I'll try playing to see what I'm dealing with.
