Medieval Lighting and Heat

In 1 collection by Nuno

Description


A collection of various lighting and heating implements to help diversify a medieval playthrough.



Bonfire



Thanks to GenomX for the bonfire re-texture, the old one was quite blurry!

A much larger version of the campfire that produces a much greater amount of heat. The bonfire is capable of burning corpses, and is a medieval alternative to the crematorium. Because of the great amount of heat it produces, it is not recommended for indoor heating use.

Small Fireplace



A small stone brick fireplace that is somewhat more effective than a campfire. This fireplace is more suited for use in smaller rooms, like bedrooms.

Large Fireplace



A larger stone brick fireplace that is very effective at heating up rooms. This fireplace is intended for use in larger rooms such as a dining hall or a hospital.

Lantern



A small metal lantern that can be used instead of a torch. It is more effective at heating and lighting than a torch.

Street Lantern



The street lantern is less effective at producing heat than a lantern, but is much better at producing light. Intended for use on outdoor pathways to light the way at night.

Chandelier

NO TEXTURE

The chandelier is on par with the lantern, but hangs from the ceiling out of sight.



In the interest of improving performance, the lantern, chandelier, and street lantern all do not require fuel. While this may be "unrealistic," I find that the roleplaying value of watching my colonists refuel dozens of lanterns does not make up for them doing so at 5 FPS late game.

Balance was taken into account when creating each fixture, and they are all intended to have a unique role.

Suggestion: Allow the lantern to be placed on other objects

Mod is updated for 1.6. I fixed some minor bugs but do not have time to test extensively. Please let me know if you encounter any other bugs or weird behavior.

@Gedryht of Woden, Right now there's no research tied to these things. This mod is fairly old and needs to be rebalanced, so I will probably end up gating some of the objects behind research.

1.6?

Most of this stuff is late medieval technology. Throughout most of the Medieval period, your average person lived on a dried dirt floor & had a fire in the middle of the room (it wasn't as messy as it sounds).
Is most of this stuff late technology in the medieval branch?

Does this mod work on 1.5? Is there a port?

@Nuno Any chance 1.5 might be ready soon?

If I don't have Royalty: does the large brazier appear but doesn't work or it doesn't appear at all?

Also, couldn't it be a Royalty patch then, instead of a dependency?

Thanks!
