found a minor bug with this mod, if your inventory cant fit the flashlight when you put the box in your hand and open it the box will bug out and you cant get rid of it or do anything with your hand, can be fixed by rejoining

alrighty we did it! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3491354400
there's our addon if anyone wants to make them last longer there you go!
gzeta  [author] 27 May @ 9:19pm 
no, you can upload an "addon" that modifies something from this mod, with this mod as a dependency but not a "clone"
Luma 27 May @ 8:41pm 
if you don't wan to update it, could i have permission to make a clone of this mod where you can customize the time it takes for the flashlights to die?
Luma 25 May @ 10:52am 
i'd kill for them lasting 10x as long since our time passes slowly and we play with a more casual slow playstyle and higher pop so fights last longer and if you're fighting in the dark, you'll end up needing to recharge like 60 times in a fight to be able to see lol
Luma 25 May @ 10:51am 
we love this mod but i just wish they lasted longer between charges. a lot of players end up just using the vanilla flashlights because the recharging get's to be too much of a chore in a 10 years later world if we play at night instead of passing the time till day. it'd be great if you could add a sandbox variable to change the amount of time a full charge will last because currently we can't find a way to mod in flashlights other than this mod that are easily renewable

Quilava 27 Apr @ 11:18pm 
Can we have a bigger flashlight? The light so short i cant see the horde 10 block away from me and die because i turn at the wrong corner. I can crank all dat Soji boi all you want, but pls let me have a bigger one, size does matter :sad_seagull:

I'm using this with Authenthic Z and i can attach this flashlights to my belts without any issue, replying to the user below me.

@gzeta, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for making this amazing and realistic mod and share it with the community.

Cheers.
16 Apr @ 8:51pm 
yeah authentic z breaks this mod and the game entirely, belt system messes up and then everything falls apart
triggerhppy26 3 Apr @ 12:08pm 
Ah, thank you for letting me know!
gzeta  [author] 3 Apr @ 12:01pm 
on b42 this mod is compatible with common sense mod only, maybe i'll add compatibility with other mods soon
triggerhppy26 3 Apr @ 11:42am 
Sorry, I just read that it's compatible with Authentic Z, but for some reason, it does not attach to the "flashlight" slot from their mod... (maybe it's just me?)
triggerhppy26 3 Apr @ 11:41am 
Great mod, thoroughly needed for a "years later" run. Quick question/request... Would you (I'm not sure even if it IS you who would do this) be able to make this compatible with the flashlight slot on "Authentic Z" and "B42 Bag upgrade plus"? Side note, would you consider making a (either separate, or included in this) mod for a hand crank battery charge? (normal AA style of course, not car). Just a thought :) Keep up the good work on this (and any other) amazing mods!
Amroth 1 Mar @ 1:41pm 
OHH, did not know that. Thank you!
gzeta  [author] 1 Mar @ 1:03pm 
@Amroth you can hold F to open the radial menu and crank the flashlight from there if you don't want to bind a key
Amroth 1 Mar @ 11:42am 
Which key do y'all normally bind the key to? I don't know all existing hotkeys out of my head so I'd appreciate a recommendation that works well
AfroRobot 6 Feb @ 11:42am 
Oh, i would update the compatiblity in your mod description to include Common Sense. Great Mod! Have my award!
rawgu 5 Feb @ 8:57am 
absolute fucking goat, thank you <3
gzeta  [author] 5 Feb @ 8:05am 
its compatible with common sense, i updated a few days ago
AfroRobot 4 Feb @ 11:40pm 
Also would love for this to be compatible with Common Sense or Simple Flashlight on Belt! Attaching flashlights to belts is crucial when it comes to use in melee combat, and allows 2h players to enjoy the mod that much more.
rawgu 2 Feb @ 4:25am 
could you maybe make these compatible with common sense? As in make them attachable to belts? :lunar2019piginablanket:

On the newest 42.1 Update it trows errors on me can you look into it?
Albert 16 Jan @ 4:07am 
could you add being able to attach it to belts?
gzeta  [author] 15 Jan @ 4:02pm 
i changed the encoding for the russian translation today
Lucifer 15 Jan @ 3:59pm 
@Ava Для фикса вопросительных знаков открой файл локализации в папке с модом, и поменяй на кодировку UTF-8. Должно помочь.
Ava J Taylor 11 Jan @ 3:27am 
please fix russian encoding in B42
gamerpoets 9 Jan @ 11:27am 
A very cool mod. Seems to be working fine for me. I show it in a video I just made. Hope you like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBm6fo0EkDI
Arès 4 Jan @ 8:25am 
There is a bug on the B42 where the batteries discharge for no reason. I'm going to put this mode back on. thank
gzeta  [author] 1 Jan @ 11:45am 
try unsuscribe and suscribe, that's supposed to be fixed. Im using the mod rn and i don't get the Recharge option on items other than hand crank flashlights
Ash 1 Jan @ 3:42am 
It currently adds recharge option to a bunch of unintended stuff.
Strikingly, candles of all things. And it also makes them way brighter lol
I love this mod and try to avoid the bug its also been popping error messages sometimes.
gzeta  [author] 31 Dec, 2024 @ 9:54pm 
the flashlights aren't attachable to belts, that's intended
Doctor Neetzow 31 Dec, 2024 @ 12:14pm 
other than the "recharge xxx" bug, (to me it was one of those towels you find on kitchen counters), I want to know if they really are not supposed to attach to the belt slots.
GarryGoCrazy 31 Dec, 2024 @ 9:10am 
@aurel Yeah lmao Infinite Vinegar Trick
Quilava 31 Dec, 2024 @ 12:04am 
THIS mod, this is what you all need to survive though B42 light update. Also any plan for bigger or last longer crank flashlight my good sir?
LiterallyBeenVibing 30 Dec, 2024 @ 2:44pm 
It also adds a "Recharge" option for Compost bags and Paint cans
LumberingTroll 30 Dec, 2024 @ 2:37pm 
I just came to report that I needed to recharge my bath towels :D
gzeta  [author] 30 Dec, 2024 @ 2:23pm 
yeah i fixed it but maybe steam didn't update the mod for you, if you still having that problem try to unsuscribe and suscribe to the mod
LiterallyBeenVibing 30 Dec, 2024 @ 2:16pm 
In B42 i get the option to "Recharge" my bath towels., it makes the hand crank noise when i "Recharge" them as well.,. figured you should know....
SP4RTAN 30 Dec, 2024 @ 2:06pm 
Ah! I totally forgot about those
gzeta  [author] 30 Dec, 2024 @ 2:03pm 
it's supposed to look like that.
I made the model based on pictures like this one [i5.walmartimages.com]
SP4RTAN 30 Dec, 2024 @ 1:59pm

maybe it's supposed to look like that and I'm just dumb idk lol
SP4RTAN 30 Dec, 2024 @ 1:40pm 
In B41 (not sure about B42) the model of the flashlight looks squished flat. I'll link a screenshot once I see it again.
MeanSmoker 30 Dec, 2024 @ 1:40pm 
It's fixed and working try unsubbing and resubbing to the mod maybe steam didn't push the update to you guys
