So, I've spawned your flashlights in the debug mod to check them out. A bunch of them turned out be worse than the standard one( Big ones are similar to the vanilla heavy duty, even a bit better because the edges of the light are not so soft. But they are same in size so sadly nothing like what I was looking for.

Also the "Attach" button doesn't appear, so they don't work with the "Simple flashlight on belt" mod. Just leaving it here in case someone will have same questions as me.

@moX,
As far as I remember, the mod featured two small flashlights. As for compatibility, I can't say, I haven't launched the game in a long time.

Hi! Is there a small flshlight in this mod that's as good as vanilla heavy duty, but small? I'm using the "Simple flashlight on belt" mod and just hate that huge yellow thing on my belt. Was looking for smth like that. Also, is your mod compatible with that one?

@Slobodskoy i see, I looked through the debug mode and when I added 5 pieces, they were all red, so I thought that the helmet was only one color.

@Cosmo,

In this mod, miner's helmets come in three colors: yellow, red, and blue. Please note, though, that the color you get is completely random, as it's essentially one object with different textures. If these items were created as separate entities, they would only appear in areas you haven't explored yet, or when a new map is generated.

@Slobodskoy, firstly, thank you for updating the mod for the most recent build and share it with the community of PZ, happy to see that even @Senny gave is approval, awesome work.

Secondly, i want to inform you, that the mod is working as expected, no issues on my end, i'm even using Authentic Z, and i can attach the flashlights with no problems.

Keep the good work.

Cheers.

I believe authentic z clothes mod messes up the belt for flashlight. Some backpacks too. The simple flashlight mod on belt states it doesn't work with it aswell.

@Meyar was there any solution to fixing the incompability between these two?

I believe it was Authentic Z @banzai

@Meyar hey did you ever figure out which mod borked it? I'm having the same issue and I have over a hundred mods enabled.

Could you buff the flashlight distance further about 1.5 time? specially the small flashlight, irl when it black out, the normal flashlight i own at home can still reach 5 house away, about 50m. Yet in the game, the flashlight can only reach 10 title, which is like 10m, it just down right bull

Glad you were able to figure it out :heartp::vanilla2:
Slobodskoy  [author] 20 Feb @ 6:01pm 
@Meyar, I do not know how to do this.
Meyar 20 Feb @ 4:06pm 
I have to take the time to debug it later I'm sure, but anyone know of any common mods off the top of your head that would make the flashlight not fit on the belt slots? I added a mod today that borked that and I'm still working out which one I added

For example, an LED flashlight generally works for a very long time, but it also shines very weakly.

@cTreK421,
Yes, they require less energy
cTreK421 18 Feb @ 11:56am 
was the 50 - 90% reduction for the new flashlights because they lasted so much longer than vanilla ones?
Slobodskoy  [author] 16 Feb @ 7:38pm 
@cTreK421 , You're probably right

@Aang741,
I just checked with an old save before installing this mod - everything works for me.
Aang741 3 Feb @ 1:06pm 
Hi when i activate your mod, and open an existing save, the minimap dissapear and its your mod idk why but happens when i activate this mod

Rachel L,
According by the contents of the file, these are the new lanterns added. However, I have now found one moment, it is impossible to remove the batteries from them by pressing the right mouse button...
Rachel L 3 Feb @ 12:39pm 
Right. By the photo tough, some flashlights are either vanilla ones changed or they are redundant?
Slobodskoy  [author] 3 Feb @ 11:23am 
@Rachel L,
This mod adds several lanterns and a miner's helmet with a flashlight. That mod, as I understand it, allows you to equip flashlights on the belt
Snaptrap 3 Feb @ 10:58am 
finally the mining helmet
Rachel L 3 Feb @ 10:58am 
What is the difference between this mod and the SimpleFlashlightOnBelt?
