THANKS!

I was really wondering what the point of a glow stick is if you can't see anything because everything is filled with smoke. It's more like a smoke grenade! ;-)

Ah yes indeed, I assumed it was automatically enabled...

This is a client side only mod. You must select it on the mods menus when joining a server.
Sporefreak 12 Aug, 2020 @ 8:58pm 
it seems like this mod isnt working correctly on my server, it is installed on the server and on the client but "glowsticks" still have smoke blocking half my screen....
It works fine in single player.

The creator of this mod is a saint. I liked the better graphics but hated the smoke!

I love you, Creator. <3

I Think The Smoke On Glow Sticks Makes Them Literally Just Flares

Indeed, super simple yet great, thanks!

"activating in-game" not sure what you mean by that? Mods are activated from the selected world mod menu BEFORE entering the world.
BigBadRat 8 Jan, 2019 @ 6:39am 
Its not working for me:( Do I need to do somethin else beside subscribing and activating in game?

Indeed, if you are in a small area or a single path straight down the smoke is horrible.
Not the first odd design choice for this game though. ;p

The smoke would look nice if it was quickly dissipating and didn't impede your view ... many things in this game lack balance. Thanks for the mod! :-D

So many comments on this one. The model is a sealed metal and glass cylinder a sort "futuristic" like glow stick. So the change to add burning smoke is just silly. Real spelunkers use plastic chemical "snap" to activate glow sticks. One should never use flares inside deep caves.

Could Be A Flare

In reality though if the glowstick produces enough heat and the exterior temperature is low enough and the air contains enough materials smoke can actually condense; nevertheless I did subscribe to this because the temps vary too much from surface to magma

See, the thing is that there is a fire burning inside the stick and the smoke is just the fire escaping from the stick but cooled down. It's still on fire, and you're on fire, and everyone is on fire. :|

There are other unnessary changes as well.
Naliwe 15 Jul, 2018 @ 7:51am 
Alright, great!

Thanks
Mad Vandal  [author] 12 Jul, 2018 @ 8:16pm 
This mod doesn't need to flagged as required on server side. Updated.
Naliwe 12 Jul, 2018 @ 9:24am 
Hi MV!

Thanks for the mod, I hated this smoke ~

There's an issue with dedicated server though, I can't seem to be able to host you mod; it's listed as "This workshop mod cannot be run on this server". Any idea why ? Your Hotbar Extender works fine on dedicated btw, if that's useful.
rft50 11 Jul, 2018 @ 10:54pm 
The thing is, the glowsticks don't come from the planet; they come from your suit. Because of this, I don't think they should have the nonsensical properties the things you've mentioned.
Compugasm 11 Jul, 2018 @ 9:38pm 
You guys really need to stop debating the logic of this. You're on an alien planet, solo, harvesting resin for fuel for christ sake. The glow stick gives off smoke. Hardly the most illogical thing deserving all this speculation.
Chaba 9 Jul, 2018 @ 11:52am 
Ya its a glow stick - not a flare.
Mad Vandal  [author] 6 Jul, 2018 @ 6:12am 
Ya, I don't get it.... The glow sticks looks like a sealed metallic version of the plastic liquid based snap-to-activate sticks.
fyrstik268 6 Jul, 2018 @ 6:06am 
Its a werid thing...
The glowsticks use suit power, indicating that they are electric, and they generate smoke.
Why??
Mad Vandal  [author] 6 Jul, 2018 @ 6:00am 
Also remembering that no sane person would use a smoke generating light sources to do underground spelunking. Classic "torches" are dipped in a flammable substance and made to burn with minimal to no smoke, but even those are hazardous to maintaining breathable air.
coconut_willy_97 6 Jul, 2018 @ 5:47am 
hahaha, so true. The glow sticks are even ELECTRIC, and use suit power.!!
skratic 5 Jul, 2018 @ 3:10pm 
I just wanted to point out for the people that don't know, if you toggle the flashlight then hit 'b' it will no longer use power. I have used this trick a lot. Your movement is a little laggy but you don't drain battery life.

FTB is more like a "Client" for minecraft. More than one modpack
vic 5 Jul, 2018 @ 1:44am 
subscribed for the picture even though I don't need the mod

EpicSlayer: My thoughts too about the useless flashlight...
EpicSlayer7.666 2 Jul, 2018 @ 9:17pm 
this mod is so needed! the smoke lasts even longer than the glowsticks!

i would understand flairs even tho there is not much smoke and enough light to "ILLUMINATE" 25m and "LIGHT" up to 50M! actually Flairs are like the glow of the crystals underground! and even tho there is "SOME" smoke, there is not as much as those "electric" glow sticks!

and any one could tell that the hard to find AND useless Flashlight is NEVER going to be used unless you could have a battery pack that would last at least 1 hour... so maybe a million PPs? when you think about the super mining with the mining tool, it must only take 100W if a Flashlight is from 4W to 20W! so freeze to death using a flash light or see nothing because of smoke!

good job!

A minecraft mod? Thus "Syntax Error" posting about that on here is low tier trolling.
Dark 2 Jul, 2018 @ 10:11am 
smoke on the glow sticks was the worst change ever
rft50 2 Jul, 2018 @ 6:22am 
The FTB packs are quite nice, I will admit that, but comparing them to fortresscraft is complete nonsense, if you ask me.
QuantumRain 2 Jul, 2018 @ 5:38am 
Feed the beast. . .(minecraft modpack lol)
Mad Vandal  [author] 2 Jul, 2018 @ 4:19am 
Torches? This is a Sci-Fi setting. What the hell is "ftb"?
Moogles 2 Jul, 2018 @ 12:23am 
omg i need this. stupid annoying smoke nonsense
Wariat117 1 Jul, 2018 @ 11:30pm 
I don't have any trail or smoke tho (p21-nightly)
rft50 1 Jul, 2018 @ 10:51pm 
The people who actually enjoy this game and hate the smoke effect, that's who cares.
SYNTAX ERROR 1 Jul, 2018 @ 10:04pm 
torches are way better than glowsticks . and this game is just a creppy knockoff of ftb so who really cares ?
Mad Vandal  [author] 1 Jul, 2018 @ 8:17pm 
The smoke trail/effect got added in P20, no reason was given for why, but it really ruins their use when digging shafts.
Galenmacil 1 Jul, 2018 @ 4:29pm 
He probably mean the trail that block your view for 10 seconds when you throw one...

Edit: Yes, thats exactly what it does! Ever since I fired the first glowstick, this smoke was annonying me. Thank you for this.
Wariat117 1 Jul, 2018 @ 2:43pm 
Do you mean this flashy *boom* effect on impact? (The one that lasts 2-3s and dissapears)
