[B41/B42]I Might Need A Lighter

Description
Updated for the b42 update, please report any bug

Philosophy behind this mod
The first iteration of this mod I Don't Need A Lighter missed the balance I was aiming at when writing it. It made the Smoker trait even more a freebie point than it should. With this version I want to keep the vanilla's lighters as the best option to light a cigarette, but also provide the player with more risky and/or scarce alternate options .

DISCLAIMER :

Car lighter overhaul :
  • Car lighters are no longer guaranteed to be found in every car. The car lighter socket can be empty or even in need of repair before becoming usable.
  • Car lighter is now an object that can be carried by players, removed from cars containing one or installed in cars in need of one.

  • The time it takes to warm up a car lighter is now directly tied to the car battery durability and charge level(Broke by b42 update)

Stove smoking overhaul :
  • Lighting a cigarette on a stove top now comes with a risk. If you accumulate too much malus(possible malus are currently coming from : Fatigue/Pain/Panic/Drunkeness/Hand Injuries) you risk having an accident when doing so.
  • The time it take to light up a cigarette on a stove top is now directly tied to multiple current stat of your survivor ( Panic / Pain / Fatigue / Drunkenness / Hand injuries )

Mod Compatibility

Planned to be added
  • Add more possible outcome when failing to light a cigarette on stoves
  • Add the risk of breaking the car lighter and/or the car lighter socket when using it with a low durability/charge level car battery
  • Add a 3d model to the car lighter
  • Update translation strings (to all supported language in the v1)

this would be great, if lighters wouldnt still be bugged. 1 use on a full lighter and theyre empty. Didnt try with disposable yet but the gasoline lighter is still bugged.

@Annatar_BR No changes to any traits, not before and not now.

Growing up our car had a car lighter and they did work with the car turned off, I learned this after SOMEONE ELSE used it to burn a hole in the center armrest while my mom was in the grocery store. Sorry mom I still don't know who did that while you were gone for 15 minutes.

Does this still change anything related to the trait? Because I use a mod that changes traits, but I'd just like the option to light cigarettes in stoves, etc.

More risky? I'm a smoker and in my 45 years on this planet I have never had an issue lighting a smoke, a joint, or doing knife hits off an oven. Outside of being wasted and/or having long hair, I just don't see someone hurting themselves lighting a cigarette on the oven unless they're a very special person lol.

Seriously though, thank you for the mod.

Ciao again! @Fingbel.

How do you repair the car lighter? it says it needs repair but I cant find any option to (b41)
Fingbel  [author] Dec 19, 2024 @ 10:25am 
@ⓇagingLoony For now this version is a carbon copy of the one in b41.

Tbh I'm not a big fan of the way they implemented the stove smoking and the "car lighter" at least as it stands right now .There is no interface, no car lighter, no sounds or limitations , you can just start smoking when you're close to an oven or in a car. (for the car it can be turned off and you'll stil be able to smoke).

When i have some time I might dig a little more in the new stuff and unify those new vanilla features with mine
