this would be super cool with a flashlight as an option just sayin

@LugDee
You might be able to change the texture to make it fit in? (If the author is cool with it)

where would i find a similar mod but for a medieval playthrough? I need something like a torchbearer for caving/guards

To combat Unnatural Darkness, we've implemented an auto mode for lanterns.
This is a convenient mode that lets the Colonist decide for themselves whether or not to turn on the lantern.
This allows you to be outdoors even when Unnatural Darkness is occurring.

I plan to update this item to completely protect against Unnatural Darkness.

Does thi means that the colonists are also safe from attacks out of the dark?
This coul be very handy in certain events from anormaly.

Very glad to see a substitute for the old Night Vision mod, but is there any possibility of adding the ability for pawns to turn their lanterns on and off automatically according to local light levels? It'd cut down on micromanagement considerably if there was.

Thanks for the reply and thanks for the mod.

@ShyGuySpirit
There were many requests to make lanterns possible even in environments where the tech level is Medieval, such as users of Medieval Overhaul, so we have made it possible to make lanterns without any components when creating with ElectricSmithy or FueledSmithy.
If you can provide TableMachining please bear with me as this will look strange.

I see that there are two Handy Lantern recipe. One on the Smithy that is 40 steel, 1 chemfuel. The other is on the Machining Table for 1 component, 40 steel and 1 chemfuel.

@Vixulium
Is this the item you are looking for?

Add flashlights and head lamps >.> please? hand held lights for colonists would be a great addition to go with the mod realistic darkness @seeki

@Rubber Ducky
not tested.

work for CE?

Thanks!

@shane_357
I have no plans to build an unhealthy nuclear powered Lantern.
However, by editing the Lantern mod's xml file, you can change the brightness <glowRadius>, running time <fuelTick>, and required fuel <fuelDef>, so you can customize the lantern to your liking. can do.

Could we get a 'nuclear lantern' that has a very long burn timer and reloads with uranium? (Also a spiffy green glow?)

@seeki Thanks a lot~ It is working now. The kids are equipping the lanterns automatically when I load the save game.

@Ehbong
I updated this mod for 1.4 so kids can use this lantern too.
Please let me know if you've updated this mod to the latest version so your child can now equip lanterns.

Hello~ thank you for this lantern~ Do you have a version of this lantern that is for children in Biotech DLC? Just want them to go anywhere without being in darkness while exploring.

No hotkey icon.
When you select a pawn equipped with a lantern, the lantern's Gizmo icon will be displayed, so you can light the lantern by clicking on it.

What is the hotkey to turn this on? I have it equipped but can't figure out how to turn it on

This mod is very cool. TY

We have confirmed that the said event does not occur.
Thank you very much.

@n_244_101_5 Please let me know if the problem is fixed.

I did a quick test on my lunch break and your error doesn't reproduce in my environment.
I have modified this mod for Ver1.4 to be safer by bypassing the process in case of anomalous settlers with strange data.
In addition, I have no intention of fixing this mod for Ver1.3.

Settlers are no longer able to pick up items.
Can you please check?

-Supported Ver1.4.
-Lanterns can now be crafted at Medieval tech level. Can be manufactured without the need for components, but increases manufacturing time.If you want to make it without components, please make it with fueled smithy or electric smithy.
-Added rot stink exposure as an immunity target for Eternal Lantern. Unaffected by putrid gases.

I have plans to make this mod compatible with Ver1.4. However, since the mod will be done in order, it will be after the release date of the new DLC.

I think this is a great idea and would LOVE to see a portable torch too (wood plus cloth) that is gone when it burns out.

The fuel left on the regular red handy lantern was showing up as 1.00% and then .99% etc. as it was used. Also created a constant error loop with a notification from RocketMan. Might be a conflict with the repairable gear mod. Disabling the mod and removing the item from the game fixed the error.

For the early stages of the game when you can't make lanterns, I created a mod that makes cutting trees easier. It would be nice to use this mod to make a Torch lamp.

@Nysch
Lanterns require a machining table to craft as they are industrial level products. You can't make it in Fueled Smithy or Crafting spot, so use Torch lamp in the early game or buy it from other settlements.

Where do I craft the Handy Lantern? It doesn't appear in the logical places of the Smithy or the Crafting Spot?

@蔡 rewrite 我很感激。 谢谢你。

Hi! I'm the Chinese translator of this mod, just here to inform you I have update the translation.
Also, the idea of eternal lantern is great, I love it!

I have added an unique eternal lantern as an attractive quest reward item.
The eternal lantern shines forever without the need for fuel, ensuring the exclusive wearer eternal health and the ability to work vigorously subject to a peaceful environment!

If the ON and OFF buttons are completely removed and the lighting is automatically controlled, I can make it look like the colonist are operating it.
However, not everyone wants to light the lantern whenever the surroundings are dark and the wearer is awake. For example, some people will want to light the lantern only when working in the dark.
What happens next will be endless requests for improvement from my users to make the algorithm more sophisticated.
To eliminate the practical inconvenience, the lantern needs to have three buttons, an ON button, an OFF button, and an autopilot button. But this system has no realism.
I have no plans to add automatic control because I can predict that such a future will occur.

E.G. is exempli gratia in Latin which means “for example". Not a mod..

I believe that polite people will talk about their topic after answering the question "Which mod is E.G.?".

If you want to consider realism surely you could consider it the lantern user would be the one turning on and off as needed? (Even if technically it not by code)

Which mod is E.G.?

I understand that your plan is more convenient.
However, this mod is designed as an old-fashioned simple oil lantern with a medieval tech level. It is strange that this has a function that automatically turns on in response to the darkness of the surroundings.
I plan to add a treasure to the eternal lantern, which is a one-of-a-kind item that does not require refueling and energizes the wearer. I hope this idea replaces your request.

How adding an option for automating the lit lantern? E.G. turn off when in a lit area (or daylight without light blocking weather like fog) and when the pawn sleeps and back on when in dark areas. Save a lot of fuel.

greetings!

thx for the fast response and fixing!

I can confirm I was having the error that preventing recruited pawns from moving, and assigning all tasks to all pawns. The update an hour ago seems to have solved it.

In my environment, there are no bugs, but the error part was a new function part, so I changed it to the base of the previous version.

I am having the exact same problem as Mizuhi. I can't order my drafted pawns to do anything. After testing every mod, I tracked it down to this one. Definitely something not working correctly as of the 23 May 22 update.
