[MOD 1.0+] Larger Lamps

Post by Deadlock989 »

Deadlock's Larger Lamps

Do you get a bit twitchy when things don't line up? Terrified of things crawling in the dark, but you despise having to spam tiny, tiny lights everywhere? Get frustrated when you're mapping out a giant base with even-tiled rotated blueprints and lamps just won't line up correctly? Then try Deadlock's Larger Lamps today!

While not actually substantially larger, the electric Larger Lamp is definitely a lamp that is 2x2 tiles in size and lines up nicely with things like large power poles and substations. It casts a much bigger but slightly less bright glow than regular lamps. It's signal compatible and will work with any vanilla signal colour, and should pick up additional signal colours from other mods as well.

There's also a 2x2 copper burner lamp which burns chemical sold fuels but has no circuit network connection. 4 MJ (one lump of coal in vanilla) lasts one game day (~20 realtime minutes). Useful if you're playing a mod which delays electricity.

That is night time. You can tell because the lamps are turned on. That's why there's light. Because lamps.

Love the big lights! Can you make them work with Dectorio lamp colors?

Thanks!

Next version (uploaded later today): added a simulated burner lamp, the "copper lantern", for all your stone age fumbling-in-the-darkness needs.

Available from game start, no research required. Made out of copper, hence the name. "Burns" chemical solid fuel such as coal, wood, etc. Same broad coverage as the electric large lamp, but yellow-orange. Not signal compatible. Configured so that one piece of coal burns for one game day (416.67 seconds). This means a piece of nuclear fuel would burn for 25.3 realtime days, if you fancy having a nuclear-powered bedside light. Continues burning during the day. Should produce a "burnt result" if the fuel specifies one. Emits 0.25 pollution per minute for vanilla fuels, should respect any emissions modifiers on the fuel.

(How it works: you can't give lamps a burner energy source, so the lamp is really an electric furnace with a void energy source and a large light glow on the working visualisation. Specialist recipes are generated from any detected items that have a fuel value and fuel category "chemical", with the processing time scaled to the fuel value of the ingredient. If the fuel item has no burnt result, the recipe has a result count of 0.)

Nice...but...It is only in the 2x2 version? Sadface. I was thinking if you couldn't also add a 1x1 torch/burner light iteration. Something like an up-to-date HD version of this:

Yeah, it was a mixture of not being able to see the point (who wants to go to the effort of running around fuelling tiny furnaces when they produce a tiny pool of light) and not being too bothered about it. Let's just say that pre-electric, you haven't twigged miniaturisation yet.

Also, you can pretend you're Daenerys Stormborn and kick them over in people's incredibly un-fireproofed tents inexplicably full of extremely fiery things. You can't do that with a Minecraft torch.

Updated the copper lamp so it looks more like an ancestor of the electric lamp.

For some reason the mod isn't loaded because the recipe for burning nuclear fuel takes no energy...
I'm unsure why that happens^^

Hi. Yeah, that error makes no sense to me. It is complaining about an exclamation mark character (!) on line 16 of one of my files. There is no exclamation mark on that line, or on any line in that file.

Why do you think it has something to do with nuclear fuel? There is nothing in the log about that.

I also notice the log has a whole bunch of warnings about duplicated mods, and another about a corrupted zip file (pyrawores_1.3.3). Could your mod folder be corrupted somehow?

If you want me to investigate further I will need a save game that uses your mod set (minus Larger Lamps), even an empty world / new game started with that particular mod set.

I also get the nuclear-fuel error, let me know if you need something else.

OK, that helps.

Are you running some other mod that modifies nuclear fuel's burn value?

If so, which mod - or can you tell me what the fuel value is? In vanilla it's 1.21 GJ.

I think this is probably a wraparound issue where the generated fuel value is exceeding max float and wrapping back around to a negative value.

Probably, GodFire also has Krastorio installed.

Will investigate.
