Placement
- The general, easy distance, between lantern posts that can be connected by a rope is 7 tiles.
- The maximum distance (object center to center) is 7.5 tiles (with placegrid 10). This is when the default-round range-display crosses the other lantern post center.
- For placing lantern posts really close near walls & fences placegrid 10 also works best here. Tech: 1/size(0.196)=5(.102~) (Here the N.102 rest value shows there is very little wasted space used in those cases.)
- As long as the lantern line is empty, it can be removed with a Right mouse click on it. The rope is returned to your inventory.
Decorating
- To connect two lantern posts with a rope. Click the rope on one of the poles(ping), then move near the second post in a good position and than then click the rope on the second pole. Note that the initial clicked pole, when connection a rope, also becomes the control post for that rope/line for all further actions. (ie: you need direct access to it.)
- Hanging up lanterns is done by just clicking them on the line. Any lanterns on the rope will be moved further down the line.
- Lanterns on the line can be individually removed with a Right mouse click on them.
- To completely remove the line/rope and all the lantarn's at ones, use Right mouse&Shift on the lantern line. The rope and lanterns are returned to your inventory.
Lighting
- Lighting the lanterns can be done by:
- Holding a lit fire source, like a torch, and clicking on the hanging lantern to light it.
- Take/hold the lantern and clicking it on some fire source, like a fire or Candelabrum. And than hanging it on the lantern line. (dropping lit lanterns in some inventory extinguishes them.)
