I'm not understanding lighting..

[mimi1007]

When it gets dark out the customers obviously want light to see but I added a candle and the tavern's comfort level went down?

is being too bright a thing?

No.

Have you lit the fireplace?
Every table has a table?

[Illuminia]

Basically, you need a Candle on every table. (using a candle holder makes it easier to replace, and gives a small comfort bonus for the first few, but 0 after that.)
This makes the large 6-person tables far better than the others.

While standing Candelabras give more Comfort, they are terrible at lighting tables. They seem to have to be placed directly next to the table to give any lighting effect for the table. Since they block walking, that means you either end up with paths between tables blocked, or having to spread tables out even further to make room for them.

We really need ceiling-based lighting, or low-obstruction support beams we can mount torches/wall candles on.

yes and yes. I have 6 tables now. 5 had a light and when I put candle on the 6th one my comfort level went from 247 to 246. Not a big deal but still confusing..

I agree. Next update really should have new lighting system and mechanics.

Do torches on walls count as lighting for rooms for rent?

I think so; while you are in the room, look at the room status panel in the lower right of the screen to see if the game thinks so too. :D

[DeadboyEzra]

Thanks. It doesn't explicitly state either way however it does leave me wondering because at points people complain about not having enough light but then I see I have the room lit up. It really is needed a more reliable and permanent source of light. Constantly micro managing the lighting is getting stale and wearing me thin. Such a simple thing seems to take the biggest toll sadly.

The status panel has an icon for each requirement, and the indicator will change if the requirement is not met. However, you can't rent out the rental rooms if they're not lit, so if you can rent them, you're OK.

For the dining room, put one candle directly on each table (holders optional). That is all you need. Any other lighting you add is for your own aesthetic enjoyment; dining room customers only care if the tables are lit.

[DeadboyEzra]

I see makes sense thanks. And yes you have to have a candle lit inside of the rental otherwise it’s basically not lit at all.

[DeadboyEzra]

Also how does one use the distillery? I have it built I’m just unsure what comes next

[Hana]

Rental rooms accept wall lanterns as free light but not torches. You need to unlock the recipies under brewing for the distillery, ferments are made in the fermentation tank, the one made of stone, those are used in distilling.

[DeadboyEzra]

So I have a lantern. Do those have infinite fuel and how do I set it up? Do I need to hang it because I can’t seem to lay it on anything. Is there a particular tool I need to hang it? Apologies for such a simple and fun game some of the mechanics can be confusing and not thoroughly explained in EA.

[Hana]

It is infinite, you hang it on the wall of the rental room, the item description says 'it's lit at night' Make sure you have a wall lantern and not a standing lantern from the christmas event, you cant place those ones inside. You don't need any tools, just put it in your hand row and select it in build mode like any other furniture. :)
