I feel there should be a config for adding items from other mods to be able ignite machines, bloomeries, etc (For mods with things like more durable flint and steels)

At the very least there should be a config to allow items that extend ItemFlintAndSteel to light things. I can't even light a pyrotech torch with with those other flint and steels or matchboxes from mods. Similarly, it'd be nice if Pyrotech's matches and bow drills worked to light modded things that rely on flint & steel type items, but I understand that's probably a whole 'nother can of worms.
