All but one of the torches requires resin, can't use wood, which makes sense since how would you use wood for them in the first place when they're upright like that. The only one that doesn't requires guck, and since you already seem to have gotten to the swamp you should know how incredibly hard it is finding guck.

I will agree with the others that you should use other light sources like surtling trophies or yellow mushrooms. You get so much resin in this game without looking for any that if you're running out I have to imagine you're using A LOT of torches, which is probably adding even more strain on your computer than this game already adds. I mean usually you don't build at night anyway, you don't need THAT much light outside, once it gets dark normally what you should be doing is going to bed.
