Twisted_Code I don't think the doodad was available when the mod was created.

by the way, I noticed you're the one responsible for making Storm Cellar available for Don't Starve. Thanks for that!
Twisted_Code 19 Dec, 2019 @ 2:18pm 
I feel the recipe should involve "electric doodad"s (x2) instead of directly using gold nuggets, but other than that, pretty neat!
Any chance of a DST port?

DST please?

Game crashed when I crafted this. Might have something to do with lightning strikes but I can't imagine what would've caused this. :(

Does it work with SW?

Can you make a version of this that can draw power from the Industrial Resolution Power Grid

you should be able to right-click on with a blue gem (while the mega light is fully charged) and have t become a red gem
CyanideSpewer 2 Nov, 2015 @ 8:57pm 
you should be able to recharge lanterns with it

Just got to say, izanamikun's version looks nice!

Good Lord we need this in DST

+1 for izanamikun sprite. Maybe a few more tailoring, but it looks great already. :dstools:
Izanamikun 14 Aug, 2015 @ 12:01am 
Well, I made it this way because when I researched the original design for betteries, it was literally a copper wire coiled around a cylindrical center with wires then coming out of both ends (think +/-). Other than that, the rest of it IS sorta slapped on there. I created it based on a combination of the lightning rod and this: http://www.batteryfacts.co.uk/BatteryHistory/Volta.html

Feel free to improve upon it as you please. :)

Ill put my unwanted two bits in here; I really like the sprite izana made, but I also like the pikmin-esque feel of afro's version. Maybe make it look a little more like a backyard project, but still keeping the normal DS lightning rod feel? Like making it look like the two were bootstrapped together, by adding the battery and bulb.

The graphic so far is here, but it's still not animated:

OK things got kinda busy for me lately, but I've gotten started on it. I'll post something here soon you can look at, but I'm trying to figure out how many frames needed for an animation. Dunno how it loads it, I've never done a mod myself.
shtornovi  [author] 24 Jul, 2015 @ 11:33pm 
izanamikun ever what you want to make ,i'll look at.
Izanamikun 24 Jul, 2015 @ 1:44am 
Hey, so about that artwork... If I were to make a new graphic for ya, what size would it need to be? And are you married to the idea of the battery being square, or can it take a cylindrical shape? Oddly enough, the first modern batteries were cylinders so that not only will look sleeker, but it's somewhat accurate. ;)

Will you port this to DST? I know you work hard on your mods and I am a big fan of them. Keep up the good work!

RazerBandit 4 Jul, 2014 @ 8:04pm 
wow... you can survive for quite some time...
Dark Ace 3 Jul, 2014 @ 8:36pm 
the game crashes whenever lightning strikes it with a warning page and forces the player to quit. "something about comparing two nil values" (constructed a few)
🐭 7 Jun, 2014 @ 8:04pm 
Ugh people are always so hyper-critical of the artwork in mods. Like the mod's functionality doesn't matter. This isn't Crysis, it's Don't Starve. I guess some people haven't noticed this yet but super fancy graphics isn't really DS's thing. If you want a game that makes huge sacrifices with functionality and gameplay for the sake of pretty graphics, go play Mirror's Edge or something. Damn casuals. :krskull:

@Magma Tung Well you're in luck, mister. There is a mod called "Compromising Survival" where if you die, you can choose the option to resurrect. If you are still interested, check it out.

good mod
Mr. Blue 5 Apr, 2014 @ 6:33am 
Well yeah that's fine and all... It's just badly drawn is what I'm thinking. Doesn't fit the art style.
shtornovi  [author] 5 Apr, 2014 @ 6:32am 
Mr. Blue lol well i was thinking when i made the mod that Wilson had advanced in his technology
Mr. Blue 5 Apr, 2014 @ 6:27am 
Oh. It just seems like it doesn't fit in with the world. It sticks out like it's not supposed to be there.
shtornovi  [author] 5 Apr, 2014 @ 5:19am 
Mr. Blue For the art
Mr. Blue 5 Apr, 2014 @ 5:16am 
An answer? Huh?
shtornovi  [author] 5 Apr, 2014 @ 5:02am 
Mr. Blue Do you have an awnser?
Mr. Blue 4 Apr, 2014 @ 7:33pm 
While i love this mod... The art for the mega base light is just not as good as it could be.
Skyrocitor 24 Mar, 2014 @ 9:57pm 
Finally a reason to actually use the Rainometer. Perspective is a little off but still a great mod, thanks.
kishin 22 Mar, 2014 @ 12:27pm 
@Afro1967 Yeah... I looked at all the mods you've made and saw that one...
shtornovi  [author] 22 Mar, 2014 @ 6:54am 
@ I AM THE ETERNAL LIE. The house mod is another one of mine,it's called
"Wilson's Cabin"
kishin 22 Mar, 2014 @ 6:44am 
What mod did you use to get that house?
CobaltEngineer 3 Mar, 2014 @ 1:47pm 
u should make a genartor so then u could burn stuff (the same fuel as a campfire) put in the genartor it stores energy then it can charge lights in the area

is there a console command that can strike lightning coz ive did 6 times from it not lighting up :/
Magma Tung 5 Feb, 2014 @ 12:12am 
One thing mod devs should make is "extra Lives" mod.
I barely play the damn game, because i lose everything if i die. after building myself up.
so its not worth it for me any longer to play the game, if I keep losing everything after spending so much time to build up.
Devs 26 Jan, 2014 @ 7:36am 
well said author/about time someone had the Ballz to tell em:):dsham:
1337Walrus 25 Jan, 2014 @ 12:39am 
I wouldn't say this mod's overpowered. You have no idea how hard it is to get gears. Lightbulbs require a constant sanity drain, and the danger of Depths Worms, and the various mobs while killing Slurpers or plucking lightbulb plants.
shtornovi  [author] 24 Jan, 2014 @ 5:21pm 
@ Tiny Baby Man They way I see it is if anyone is to lazy to tune the mod to their liking,they should either not download it or keep their mouth shut or both.
Chara 24 Jan, 2014 @ 2:44pm 
Don't Starve is too difficult, lets make it the easiest game ever with help of mods!!! Who cares if it was MEANT to be difficult!!!!! OVERPOWERED MODS ARHRSJGJHG
Chara 24 Jan, 2014 @ 2:42pm 
Need more overpowered mods!!! Let's make it impossible to die!!!
