Lantern

Lantern is a light source object that can be placed in the world or carried while held. In either case, it provides light, making it useful for illuminating dark areas while exploring, building, or working underground.

Because it can be wired using Wiring tools and items, Lantern can also be included in wired setups rather than serving only as a static light source. This makes it more flexible than a simple decorative lamp, since it can be integrated into player-built systems alongside other wired objects.

In practice, Lantern is most useful anywhere visibility matters: around bases, along corridors, near workspaces, and in caves or other unlit regions. As a placed object, it helps maintain a lit area without needing to be held constantly. As a held item, it gives immediate light while moving through dark places, which is especially helpful when traveling away from a secure, well-lit base.
