WIP!!!
The purpose of this mod is to rebalance infinite light sources. It will solely focus on any oil based lamps and candles! I'm not a fan of infinite light sources, but I understand it would be tedious to have to constantly service them. My solution is to modify light sources to make them finite, yet infinite. Let me explain:
A candle that melts over time. The more melted it is the less light it outputs, but even when burned out it will still produce a small amount of light, allowing players to see but maybe not stop all mob spawning. Your house doesnt have to be a dark hole in the ground as when torches burn out early in the game, candles being a step up from regular torches. This effect will be the same when oil lamps/lanterns run out of oil (they will output a minimal amount of light).
Mod's features:
1- Get beeswax.
2- Melt beeswax in a pot. Opens 2 paths:
A) Let the wax harden in a pot so that you can:
-Make wax bricks (For storage) or wax bars (For storage).
-Mix wax bars with some of the game's medicinal plants to make salves for positive effects (In progress).
-Mix wax bars with some of the game's medicinal plants to make other kind of candles for other effects (In progress).
B) Use twine and sticks to shape into candle wicks to:
-Make candles of any type by combining them with a melted wax pot.
3- Render flax grain oil in a pot so that you can:(NEW)
-Extract rendered grains from the pot and press in a fruit press to extract flax seed oil.(NEW)
-Mix flax seed oil with processed beeswax to create beeswax oil (In progress).(NEW)
-Beeswax oil that can be used to refuel light sources and to help infuse salves (In progress).
To do list:
-Finish all the red (In progress) features.
-Disable bunchocandles recipe and replace with candleStory's own recipe and candles.
-Make a harder recipe to get the bunchocandles (1-9) for decoration purposes, to not ruin candleStory's immersion.
-Change the game's oil lamps/lanterns to follow the same progression as candleStory candles.
-Potentially adding similar functionality for animal fat/tallow.
-Lots of testing happening in the background to make this work. It's taking longer than expected but I'm on track.

This looks to be shaping up to be a fantastic mod addition! I am also not a fan of infinite lighting sources, and have long wanted a system that requires re-fueling oil lamps and lanterns.
If you touch fat, be sure to work with expanded foods as it has some recipes to turn fat into lard, and then into hardened lard, which can be used to make candles.
this mod looks great and I cant wait to try it. though it would be great to add compatability with "Oils! From Seed to Substance". that way there are more options for candles than just bees wax. Plus, that mod has a ton of great stuff, but is mostly GUI crafting, but you have done a very cool in world crafting system. compatability would be awesome. Eitherway though great looking mod!

I can have 2 versions for download. 1 "Full version" and 1 "Lite version" (Lite getting rid of some micro). Let me try and finish my to do list so I can properly organize it and edit it rather than have it be 2 independent versions to develop.
This is great mod for immersion, but is it possible to disable burn out of candles? Im hosting server for my friends and mantaining lanterns would be tedious for players that didn't log in for a while. But all things considered great idea for a mod!
Neat!
Dang this is pretty cool. It'd fit really well into a "hardcore" type collection.
