FAQ:
Multiplayer Tested and works in multiplayer.
Will this mod change the overall flashlight count? Yes and no. Since the new flashlights have been added to several containers it increases the overall flashlights in the world.
Can this items be crafted? No.
Does this make the vanilla flashlights also belt-equippable? Yes.
Can I install it in an existing save file? The new flashlights will not spawn in already visited locations. Its usually better to start a new savegame with new mods.
Which game version works with this mod? I have tested it with game version 41.65 and 41.66
