Hello Ladies & Gents,
I would like to know what people think about having Lanterns, in other words lights for the inside or outside of your house / base. It gets pretty annoying to have to light up a camp fire to see at night, especially if you have MASSIVE house / base. You'd need to setup tons of fireplaces all over the place, and it just doesn't look esthetically appealing.
I was thinking Lanterns (since there's no mention of electricity in the game for now) which would use Metal Fragment + Low Grade Fuel. And one fuel bottle should make the lantern last for a very long time. Infinite would be awesome, as it's only decorative and would help to see in the complete darkness.
Also, VERY IMPORTANT, I would suggest making them easily breakable. So you can easily change the lanterns location.
Let me know your thoughts / inputs.
Thank you
Yea, I know a few people who would want this.
Very much needs to be infinite, I don't want to have to repair lanterns all the time. Fair enough if that means a higher initial cost, of fuel, not metal - 1 frag is enough :)
There is the stealth aspect to consider tho, hmmmm
Being stealth is good, in that case using lanterns only inside your house, you should have an option to turn the lantern(s) off. That way before you leave the server, you turn all the lights off.
mmm, infinite sounds overkill, fuel is fuel no matter how u use it.
it wouldnt be pure decorative either, u would use it to see in your house at night?
its a light source neither way.
personally i would think to increase fuel output from fat. so we dont need to kill dozens of animals to feed those damn lights ;)
LOL, yes infinite might be overkill. We could have the lanterns use BARELY any fuel, so that one bottle could make it last for hours (when it's ON of course).
This has been suggested (probably numerous times) but yeah, I don't like having to use campfires, furnaces, handheld torches or flashlight mods as light in my own house.
Given how awkward it is to keep lighting fires, Furnaces, or carrying a torch around with you and then making it hard to carry out tasks in the dark, this is probably something they'll add in later for sure.
It also seems to be a popular idea, so they'll do something!
Or the ability to build Solar Panel and mine copper from rocks to make wires and have real lights...
Its not far fetched your making holo sights and lasers
If lanterns were put in, 1 bottle of fuel should last a good 15 minutes. Maybe if they add high grade fuel, that could last twice as long. We don't need infinite lights in our Rust.
I agree, maybe that one filling lasts exactly 1 night, if it is on the entire time.
Would love to see this.
The solar panels sounds like something for late-game stuff, they'd need to add silicate as well.
A generator for the high-grade fuel and beam lights, etc.
Maybe crafted on a higher tier crafting table ;)

It would make sence, since were making laser sights and such, but honestly i don't like the idea overall. Plus its a lot to add to the game as its still in beta.
It is in alpha, not even beta :D
^ I was gonna leave the beta comment alone, but i still say you shouldnt one without the other..
To go along with this, I would also like to see the current torch be a little more useful. Have the current "tick" amount start at 300 or 400, and allow people to refuel the torch by combining it with low grade fuel. It seems like it dies out too quickly to be useful right now.
i would LOVE lanterns, but not infitite. should take low grade fuel(or perhaps different forms of lanterns that we can use to utilize charcoal/wood/LQF) to burn. should be slow burning though, as lanterns dont require much to stay lit.
I very much support this. It is a pain when fighting at night because you have to turn off your torch to use your gun.
Hey guys, thanks for all your inputs :)
Hopefully they will add this in the next update as it is quite a small addition and extremely useful.
Are these lanterns going to be held like a torch, or placed like a campfire?
Currently there isn't anything in the game which can be placed and then picked back up, let alone be able to be used in both modes is there?
So either a new type of item category would need to be created for this, or you would need to make two types of lanterns. One hand held, and one that can be placed.
It would also be nice if you could somehow hang them instead of having to place it on the floor, but that could be worked out later.
To craft I guess it would need low quality metal, cloth, and low grade fuel. A lantern that can be placed could have slots for fuel.
I'm not sure how you could work out filling a hand held though. Maybe by just having the fuel in your inventory similar to a weapon.
Yes, you're right.
The lantern would definitely need to have the option of being suspended from a ceiling, attached to a wall or carried on you.
Kinda something like Minecraft has, in their case you can install and remove the a torch from practically anywhere.
And having to craft it from (low quality metal, cloth, and low grade fuel) is the way to go.
I'd even settle for being able to put the current torches on a wall.
I've put camp fires on top of pillars while building. You can still build on top of them so they kind of can act like wood burning lamps. It's better than nothing, but you just have to remember to put them in place while your building.

Amazing idea! I just think that there shouldn't be unlimited fuel. seems a bit overkill. maybe burn 1 low grade fuel every real world minute? that means only about 10 fuel for an entire night. seems pretty legit to me. Overwise great idea tho, keep them coming!
Maybe then the lantern can be used to make a search light.
