Mods for non-electricity light sources?
Hey y'all. As the title says I am looking for mods that add light sources for my buildings and outdoors that do not need electricity. I imagine torches, placeable candles, oil lamps, etc. that can be placed down or installed just like the electric lights.

So far, I have only found mods that do not allow placement of the items, or that have little but annoying mistakes, like not emitting light when placed.

Thanks everyone!!

Can't find anything. What exists in the workshop must be what you already searched.
Honestly you can't do wrong with campfires if you need a non-electrical outdoor light sources (and indoors too if you are careful).

Yeah, thanks, I guess noone really ever felt the need to add these things. :D What do I need to consider when putting a campfire inside? Will it fill the room with toxic gases like the generators do? Or just not to run into it and getting set on fire? :D

Yeah, but that is not really what I am looking for. It still needs electricity of some sort. I am looking for a true survival style way of getting light into my place.

Your building burning down and you set yourself on fire. You need to place the campfire at the center of 3x3 non burnable tiles like sand/gravel/ceramic tiles.

This is probably the worst and most glaring omission in the game. Not a single candlestick in the whole state of Kentucky and not more than two or three candles?

Authentic Z has glowsticks, which is cool. Would like to see road flares, oil lamps, storm lamps, kerosene lanterns, DIY torch sconces and so on, though.

Expanded Helicopter Events has road flares

But I do wish I could place lit candles around my base at night. Currently they don't have much use

I'm so interested in this. I wish I knew how to code. :)

Duh... Those aren't placeable.

Yeah, they do. But in every run I came across maybe ten or so and they aren't craftable. I want to build a big place and having to scavenge the whole map just to light the place is a bit off, isn't it?

The code part is easy. The graphics/sprites of the object is what keeps me off doing it myself.

With a high enough electrical skill, you may wire and turn on a table lamp with a battery.

By far my top 10 most used mods. Lights up my driveway and outside perimeter.
