Candles Forever
The new candles are cool but not perfect. Make them better by never letting them burn out.
By TastyChickenLegs and TCL-MODS
- Never let the candles burn out
- Control the size and have different sizes. Small and Tall On and Off
- Set the size of each candle individually - a candle's size follows its fuel level: fuel 3 is tall, fuel 2 is small
- Turn any candle off and back on without losing the fuel it already has
- Choose to ignore rain and keep them lit
Choosing a candle's size
Look at a candle and press Left Alt (rebindable) to cycle it:
Off -> On -> Tall -> Small -> back to Off
- Off - the flame goes out, but the candle keeps its fuel so you can relight it
- On - the candle burns down on its own, exactly as vanilla
- Tall / Small - the candle is held at that size and never burns out
The setting is stored on the candle itself, so two candles side by side can be different sizes, and it survives saving, reloading and multiplayer.
Hover text shows which mode a candle is in and which key changes it.
Configuration:
The config file is located in "<GameDirectory>\Bepinex\config" (You need to start the game at least once, with the mod installed to create the config file).
- Lock Configuration - server admins only may change settings
- Default Mode - how a newly placed candle behaves: Off, On, Tall or Small. Individual
candles can still be changed in game with the Cycle Key
- Keeplitinrain - keep candles lit while it rains
- Cycle Key - the key that cycles a candle you are looking at. Default Left Alt. Set to
None to disable
Installation: (manual)
Extract DLL from zip file into "<GameDirectory>\Bepinex\plugins" or use your favorite mod manager Start the game.
