Lantern decay mod

[SentientPeanutbutter 2]

Lanterns currently have an unrealistic decay rate compared to most any other metal item in the game.

(This seems like a useful mod just waiting to be made.)

 

Lantern decay modification suggestion details below:

    In inventory: No timed decay, only decay through use (light/snuff) like other metal tools.

    Outside inventory: Timed decay similar to other metal items such as lamps.

        -On deed/planted -> decay same as lamps (no decay)

        -On deed/not planted decay same lamps (lessened timed decay)

        -Off deed -> decay same as lamps & other metal items (timed decay)

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your time & consideration.

Totally agree with this, and would love to see a mode that fixes this weird discrepancy.

first glance, seems like the flag for isAlwaysPoll is the only real difference between lantern and lamp, which would greatly affect the decay ticks the item takes.

Could probably just remove that flag from lantern, testing that change would be very long winded though since decay occurs over time while server is running.
