whats consuming lanterns?

[Elzjexx]

I wanted to produce some lanterns to update the mines (50 pieces) but for some reason, it says the lightning shop made about 180 lanterns, but there are about 15 in reserve

what is consuming lanterns?

Playing Vanilla Alpha 200 hours or so :)

Do you have any cathedrals? They use around 50 lanterns per month each.

Cathedral will now consume lanterns to increase happiness, you can uncheck this option in Cathedral's building screen.

And depending on which mines you have, deep mines/stone, take lanterns for workers as well.

Oh yes Ofcourse, thank you!

Lanterns are fairly durable things... why have it be lanterns as a maintenance cost; are people that clumsy that they are breaking 50 lanterns in a month's time? Maybe you could make that 50 lanterns a cost of building the thing in the first place, then a monthly usage of lamp oil. Wouldn't that be more realistic anyway?

The lamp oil is a better idea.

The number of lanterns they consume is crazy.. don't understand why these cathedrals consume so many.
