Category:Light Sources

A Light Source is a tool in Survival 303.

Overview
A light source is a tool which significantly brightens up a dark place, such as a cave. This is only visible to you, so other players don't see a brightened up cave, unless you hold the light source out, then the dynamic lighting will light up the cave. There are three non-admin light sources in Survival 303.

Crude Torch
The crude torch is a light source which is relatively easy to craft. It doesn't light up caves very brightly, just enough so that you can see what is in the cave and where the exit it. It doesn't last very long, so if you're planning on using this as your primary light source, you better bring several with you. When it burns out, it's removed from your inventory and cannot be retrieved. It also cannot be re-lit after burning out.

Oil Torch
The oil torch burns longer than the crude torch, and is also slightly brighter. It is not often seen because most people will just go straight to a lantern.

Lantern
Now we're talking! The lantern is very different from the crude torch and oil torch. The lantern burns longer is much brighter, and most importantly, can be relit by clicking any burning object with the tool in-hand. Once it runs out, it won't disappear out of your inventory, making it a very sought after tool. The resources are a little harder to acquire, but still not too expensive.
