[Suggestion] Lantern Sway Toggle

16 votes

Can we turn off the sway on the Biofuel Lantern. It causes motions sickness and also makes it less useful than a torch on your belt because it doesn’t light ‘upwards’ very well in caves. Make it like the torch but just brighter.

The Lamp and Flashlight move with the body, making them terrible for mining, but the Torch and Lantern do not. I can only hope that's a bug, bc they also do not move when looking up.

I also suggested turning the Flashlight into something that follows the Player's Perspective and/or offering a headlamp.

I agree. Couldn't the biofuel lamp that goes in the "L" slot be helmet mounted instead of hip mounted? As soon as you draw your recurve bow at night the lamp swings off to one side making aiming impossible. When mining, the lamp swings horribly back and forth which plays havoc on the eyes and dare I say it, could cause some people to suffer epilepsy or headache.

The animal fat lantern is great for seeing all around, but it runs out kind of fast. And the flashlight is nice and bright and unlimited power, but it sways everywhere way too much to mine. Would be nice to see a lantern in T4 to make up for this

Agreed. The light swinging of the light while walking\mining is nauseating. It makes the wooden or rag torch the top tier light. The torch and biofuel lantern are such a disappointment because of this.

God yes, please. It might add atmosphere and realism but it makes it useless as a light. Lantern and flashlight swing toggle would be ace!

Zero sway would be better.
