Types of Lighing.

I'm hoping that we will see a lot of lighting options aside from just fires and lamps. What are peoples wishlists for this?

I'd like to see things like jars of firefly type things, maybe some of those huge bugs that will be appearing. Those crystals glow REALLY bright, so those are my top two, really.

There's also electrical lights, last I checked.

[Neopopulas]

The only one i saw were the lamps, which were basically spotlights.

[Eldritch Crank]

Oil Lamps and Candles are a must at some point.

Something that lasts alittle longer than fires and torches, like candles, would be cool. Especially wall-sconces and the like

Crystals as light sources would be cool. Maybe as an upgraded torch that lasts 4x longer? Or one that never needs repair! Crystals at light sources could also extend to standing torches for your base. Would give another mid-end game option for base lighting as well as be a new aesthetic choice. This game def needs more visual variations as it pertains to character equipment and craftables.

I would love to have a crystal just.. tied to a rope and hanging from the ceiling, or my belt, on the end of a staff or rod or something like that. A bunch of them in a basket for even more light.

I honestly think that the game will live or die by its arguably superficial additions. People can only fight dinosaurs and build towers for so long. Adding in TONS of furniture, tons of lighting options, tons of clothing options and upgrades will keep people going.

Maybe you can pan for gold and add it to armour, clothes and weapons? Maybe you can carve statues and make art, if you have a dozen weapon types (slings, slingshot, spear-thrower, tomahawk, machete, spear, longspear, shield, etc) then you give more things for people to build and experience. Its a bigger time sink and thats what the game will need.

Every small additional thing, it doesn't have to be HARD to do, but even the smallest thing you CAN do will extend the life of the game immeasurably

Not sure about types but i'd just be happy if they could be automated, it gets old going to every torch each night to light an area...and costs too much just to leave them going.

I'd love small wall lamps and torches - Oil lamps, candles.

It would be especially cool if you could make them auto on/off per room if you click one. Maybe even have a central container for their fuel so you don't have to micromanage every light source in the house.

I'd also love a stone fireplace - No cooking, just pure heat during the cold weather.

[Neopopulas]

speaking of fireplaces i'd love something like an oven that cooks more food at once than the campfire. Having a campfire in the middle of my hut seems like a fire hazard.

The pot doesn't work for you?

There's no fire hazard right now though - You can safely put a campfire in a thatch hut.

I don't think you can cook in the pot, can you? I thought i tried and it wasn't working. Its not just for dyes and special soups?

I know there isn't ACTUALLY a fire hazard, it just looks like one.
