THIS MOD IS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR 42.13.x
Philosophy behind this mod
The first iteration of this mod I Don't Need A Lighter missed the balance I was aiming at when writing it. It made the Smoker trait even more a freebie point than it should. With this version I want to keep the vanilla's lighters as the best option to light a cigarette, but also provide the player with more risky and/or scarce alternate options .
DISCLAIMER :
- You can submit bug reports (here <3)
- Changelog : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails//changelog/2883633728/
Car lighter overhaul :
- Car lighters are no longer guaranteed to be found in every car. The car lighter socket can be empty or even in need of repair before becoming usable.
- Car lighter is now an object that can be carried by players, removed from cars containing one or installed in cars in need of one.
- The time it takes to warm up a car lighter is now directly tied to the car battery durability and charge level.
Stove smoking overhaul :
- Lighting a cigarette on a stove top now comes with a risk. If you accumulate too much malus(possible malus are currently coming from : Fatigue/Pain/Panic/Drunkeness/Hand Injuries) you risk having an accident when doing so.
- The time it take to light up a cigarette on a stove top is now directly tied to multiple current stat of your survivor ( Panic / Pain / Fatigue / Drunkenness / Hand injuries )
