I just checked our Entbrat data for breeding with 4 torches, and I think we've got enough that I should close this segment of the project and get on with trying 10 torches. Tentatively:  Potbellies 946, T-Roxes 636,     Entbrats 1069,  total 2651 (35.7 +/- 0.9)%, (24.0 +/- 0.8)%, (40.3 +/- 1.0)% 

 Fwogs 1618,     Furcorns 1651,   Entbrats 473,   total 3742 (43.2 +/- 0.8)%, (44.1 +/- 0.8)%, (12.6 +/- 0.5)% 

 Noggins 871,     Bowgarts 569,   Entbrats 1011,   total 2451 (35.5 +/- 1.0)%, (23.2 +/- 0.9)%, (41.2 +/- 1.0)%

Compared with success rates of (31.9 +/- 1.1)%, (6.9 +/- 0.5)%, and (32.6 +/- 1.2)% for the same groups without any torches. So it looks like there is an effect, around 2% per torch for the 1 + 3 breeding pairs and a bit more than 1% per torch for the 2 + 2 pair.

We also just hit the milestone of 10,000 attempts at breeding Ghazts with 10 torches lit, with a success rate of (11.2 +/- 0.3)%. From a base success rate of 1.0% with no torches, that's nicely consistent with an improvement of 1.0% per torch.
