[size=4][b]Automatic mode:[/b][/size]

Choose which environments should activate the lantern:[/size][/font]

[list]
[][font=Verdana][size=3][b]Caves:[/b] Lights up in recognized cave environments.[/size][/font][/]
[][font=Verdana][size=3][b]Game-marked Dark Areas:[/b] Follows areas explicitly marked as dark by the game.[/size][/font][/]
[][font=Verdana][size=3][b]Underground Areas:[/b] Covers supported underground environments, including recognized sewer, basement and dungeon profiles.[/size][/font][/]
[][font=Verdana][size=3][b]Outdoor Night:[/b] Lights up outdoors during nighttime.[/size][/font][/]
[/list][font=Verdana][size=3]
All four rules are enabled by default and can be switched off individually. Cave, dark-area and underground lighting work independently of the time of day.

Ordinary houses and inns stay unlit unless another enabled rule applies.

[b]Custom outdoor hours[/b] lets you choose exactly when outdoor lighting should turn on and off, with separate hour and minute settings. Overnight schedules are supported. The default times are 22:00–03:00.

Want the lantern on indoors as well? Enable [b]Lit in all interiors[/b]. This lights any interior recognized by the game, regardless of time. The three area-specific settings are greyed out while this option is active, and their saved choices are kept.

Both optional settings are disabled by default.

Automatic mode follows the game's area tags and environment data. Some dark rooms have no suitable tags, and bright caves may still activate the lantern.


[size=4][b]Manual mode:[/b][/size]

Assign the Candle Lantern to a quickslot and use it to toggle the wearable light.

If you do not already own a Candle Lantern, one is added for you. Existing items and quickslot assignments are preserved.
