Torches Burn Out

Description
I'm no longer updating my Starbound mods, so they might not work as intended. Feel free to update and upload any of my Starbound mods.


Makes torches burn out after a while for more spooks.
Every torch is special and lasts a different time.

Every other light source works like normal, so use those for permanent lighting.
I may make more things burn out later.

Wired torches work normally so get some light switches for your house if you use torches!
Generated torches are probably on the first time you visit, but then start burning out.
The torch timer is based on your OS time so torches go out even when you're not playing.
I used the OS timer so torches burn out even when you're not on the planet the torches are on.

Update: Torches now use the Starbound time system thingy, so the only change is that torches don't burn out while you're not playing.

If I'm using a handheld torch mod with this mod, will the handheld torch burn out or not?

well it has the normal torches but it adds a one handed torch and two handed animated torch. i was just curious

Not sure, can't remember. There's a good chance it will work since I think it might just affect placed torches.

is this compatiable with any other torches mod? like the 2 handed and one handed mod

It would be cool if that only applied to player placed ones... i fear dungeons using torches might get broken ...anyone can confirm or do i need to try it?

EDIT: I have better idea, why not make torches always burn, but after time set in this mod, torches loss like 50-80% of their luminescence ...so it would look like they are on edge of burning out and would tempt player to replace them - then depending on mod ver that Author could make, upon removing from map they would either refresh or dissapear in inventory.

So best of both worlds. Somewhat realistic, but don't break dungeons or gameplay.

Only normal torches, nothing else.

I asume by torches you mean just the normal torch or what else is included in this

In most vanilla cases mines use lanterns or other lighting, but added dungeons might get broken.
It would be smarter if any torch placed by player get this function, but be unafected otherwise.

This mod is perfect for True Survival mod collection I've been making. Thank you, Vanake. :)
