This mod adds the ability to light the new vanilla lanterns introduced in B42 unstable. Currently, the base game allows you to light them only while equipped. This mod lets you light them on ground or any surface.

To show the option to light, right click on one of the following 3 lantern types:

  • Hurricane lantern
  • Propane lantern
  • Improvised lantern
  • Improvised flashlight
  • Other flashlights (disabled by default)

In order to avoid wasting a lighter too many times, a lit hurricane lantern can be kept in your inventory and will automatically turn on when equipped or dropped. Unfortunately, due to limitations, you can't do the same using the place option.

Known issues

  • Mod Auto Logging crashes when gathering logs. If you have Bodily Functions (0.12.3), load it after Lantern Fix.
