Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Creating light sources that don't use electricity seems to be limited to items or fireplaces. The handheld items have a limited range (basically only user tiles) and fireplaces are bulky and block movement and vision, or produce smoke. More of a QoL thing for innawoods runs, but could be useful for other purposes.
Solution you would like.
Either a built furniture or deployable item that is essentially a big oil lantern on a pole. Casing and reflectors (optional) around the flame to spread the light around and protect from wind. Consumes charges over time while generating light, can be refilled. Might need new code though.
Describe alternatives you have considered.
Darkness without large fires? Or some kind of small, transparent fireplace that can be walked on the tile of without setting yourself on fire.
Additional context
Houses before gas street lights could have oil lamps hanging above the entrances suspended from ironwork. These could light the footpaths but not much further due to not having reflectors. Not sure why, either cost or soot buildup.
