Lights

Description
Overview

Do you feel like the light options in this game are limited? This mod aims to rectify that! It will add a couple of permament and carriable light items for your everyday light needs!

Current features

  • Electric lamp - your everyday electric streelight. Connect it to your powergrid and it will provide strong & steady light all night long.
  • Coal gas lamp - an old-timey piece of technology, this marvelous structure allows you to turn coal into gas and gas into light.
  • Mine light - an underground placeable powerful electric light - place a couple of them down below and you won't have to carry that pesky lamp!
  • Vertical cables - craft them in factory and use them to connect stuff vertically. Yes, you can now connect underground generators to you power grid and more!

All lamps are structures built using blueprints. Those will be handed to you by the Builder, the Miner and the Mechanic at appropriate times during quest line, so make sure to visit them! The new cables can be crafted in the factory, same as the classic cables!

Planned features

  • Magic lamp - you everyday magic street lamp. Wait, you don't have those where you live? Shame...
  • Floodlights - when regular lights are not enough, flood the whole area in powerful & bright light. Just make sure your powerplant is ready to handle that!
  • More underground lightining - more variants - coal powered, battery powered, magic powered...you name it, I make it!
  • Candles - torches are boring. Bring a candlestick with you on your adventures instead!
  • Nuclear lights - you might ask "is this safe?". I don't know. But do you really care about that? Or do you want your infinite light source?

Known issues

  • If you load coal into the Coal Gas Lamp at night, it goes out for a couple seconds. This will be rectified soon.

So does this mod still work and for mp too?

Of course we only care about our infinite light source, besides, after we use the nuclear lamp we may become our own light source.

Yes, the mod is teribbly outdated - back when it was created, there were only vertical cables and I had to hack around some code to make them work vertically. The only useful part now is the lamps (and even those could be done better with today's modding capabilities).

You do know cables work vertically right?

Thanks, I have to fix that (finally).

It needs to be connected to a power source to work (see screenshots). I will make a battery powered standalone version later.

How do I make the Mine Light work? I tried using one in the scorpion infested part of the ship, but it doesn't light anything up.
