Description

Clay lamp is a simple light source block that consumes olive oil when active.

Recipe

Combine a Ceramic Bowl and a string to craft a Clay Lamp. Any of Linen String, Wool String, Cotton String or Silk String is allowed.

Usage

A Clay Lamp that is in your inventory can be filled (and also emptied) by placing it into a barrel containing Olive Oil, or simply holding it in your hand and right clicking the barrel.

A Clay Lamp can be placed on flat surface and places where a torch can be placed such as a fence post to become a stationary light source when lit while consuming Olive Oil.

A Clay Lamp that has be places in the world can be filled up when holding a bowl, a glass bottle or a ceramic jug of Olive Oil. In case of a bowl there needs to be room for 250 mB of fuel in the Oil Lamp. Glass Bottles and Ceramic Jugs are partial containers and so they can fill Clay Lamps by an amount of fuel that is a multiple of 50 mB. Olive Oil can be completely topped up from a held Clay Lamp containing enough Olive Oil.

A Clay Lamp can contain up to 300 mB of Olive Oil.

A placed Clay Lamp can be lit by right clicking while holding a candle, or a torch that has been lit, and it can be turned off by right clicking with an empty hand. An Clay lamp cannot be lit when it's raining unless covered, and it will get doused if it's already lit.

A lit Clay Lamp can be used to set a torch or a candle alight by holding it in your hand and right clicking it.

By default a lit Clay Lamp consumes 1 mB of Olive Oil every 4 hours and produces a light level of 12. Both of these parameters can be configured.

Notes

• A Stone Press can be used to extract Olive oil from Crushed olives.
• A Clay Lamp containing any fuel cannot stack. Empty Clay Lamps can stack up to 4 items.
• A Clay Lamp can be filled up from a bowl of Olive oil when it contains 50 mB or less fuel, which is when the wick starts to show up at the bottom of the Clay Lamp.
• Clay lamps accept Fish Oil as an alternative fuel.

Future features

• More fuel options will be added later including butter, linseed oil, Walnut Oil and kerosene.
