I Can't Hang A Lantern In My Workshops?

[PewPr]

But, I can hang them in my houses... Seems a bit backwards. I could care less about my villagers, but I need to see when I'm working!

Agreed, it would be nice to be able to install lights in other buildings though you can use a torch.

Before you have finished building a production building, as long as only the foundation is there, without walls and roof, but you can already see the ghost image, which shows where exactly the building will be at the end, THEN you have to place the lantern for the outside area directly outside the building in such a way that at the end the luminous body of the outside lantern is inside the finished building.
So this is not an in-game way to illuminate the working buildings, rather the whole thing is a trick (some would call it an exploit) that takes advantage of the fact that the building walls don't collide until they are finished. A trick - nothing more. But some like it.

Also, with the same method you can place some building really close to each other;

Nice, I'll have to check that out. But you're talking about the standing lantern, right? Not the hanging lantern used for indoor decor. Thanks

Y, it's the standing outdoor lantern.
