[Suggestion] Lantern hooks

164 votes

A wall hook, ceiling hook, pole with hook(like the floor torch) where you can hang your lantern.
Making multiple lanterns is expensive, but having somewhere to hang your lantern while you are there would be helpful.

Placing a lantern on the ground provides excellent light, but the item decays very quickly. I'd love a lampstand that I can place in my house, or where I'm mining, to give stable light. Perhaps this could be fueled with a form of oil? Maybe animal fat, beeswax, or corn oil?

-Lantern or Headlamp - Along with caves, some kind of personal light would be nice. Whether it be a craftable headlamp or even being able to hang your lantern off of your characters side, belt or equipment. Placing a torch/ lantern on the ground to mine gets old quick.

I would really like the stand or ability to place the lantern or lamp and work within the range of the light. Great game, thank you all for the hard work!

Double the usefulness of handheld lamps/lanterns to be able to put them on ground (even existing deployable mechanics with putting it down then rotating as needed would be fantastic) and/or being able to craft simple iron hooks and hang the lamps from ceiling. It would be nice intermediate step from torches to electric lights.

NOTE: Base floor are quite finicky, I have stone foundation with exterior wood floor and when I try to drop lamp, it bounces and falls through textures. On ground it often bumps and falls into unusable position.

Add a pole with a Hook to place a Lantern on it.

Add a triangle with a Hook at one arm to mount on walls, ceilings.

It is strange, that there is no light source for your home between torches and electric lamps.

A wall attachment like the wall torch but for lanterns.

Please give us a stand with a hook to place lantern/lamp on, so it does not glitch through the floor in caves and we can place it in shallow water.

With the T2 lantern, we have a real good lightningsource to light up caves or see much more in the night. Would be nice to set the light up to make it possible to harvest or mining easier in dark scenes. The idea is to set up a tripod/lampost, open the inventory and put the lantern in.

In addition maybe a T4 solar lamp that automatically lights up at night or dark scenes like caves (charges during daytime in sunlight) would be a good idea. With cost like 4-5 Electronics + 6-8 Steel + 1 Woodpillar (destructible by storms and animals) it would be expensive enough to not be "OP".

in combination i can charge my T4 lamp that is hanging on the lampost/tripod and take it with me if i'm on exploration to find caves or something else.

Duplicate suggestion, this needs to be merged with the higher upvote suggestion.
