LanternShootZombiesNight
A PEAK mod that turns the lantern into a core survival tool. Configurable fuel, warmth restore from various actions, cold resistance while holding a lit lantern, dynamic drain speed, and a HUD to keep track of everything.
Requires BlackPeakRemix and ShootZombies.
Features
Lantern Fuel
- Choose fuel capacity: 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 240 seconds, or infinite
- Lighting a campfire refills the lantern; standing near one pauses fuel drain
- Reserve warmth pool: overflow from restores is banked and used before main fuel runs out
- Auto re-light: a snuffed lantern re-lights automatically when fuel is added
Warmth Restore
The following actions restore lantern fuel:
- Kill zombies (area-based), open chests, use items, eat food, cook, blow the bugle (AoE), rescue teammates, huddle with teammates
- Unified value mode: chest / item / eat / cook can share a single restore amount
- Variety limiter: the same source type is blocked within the last N restores (bugle and rope items are exempt)
- Cooked food bonus multiplier for properly cooked meals
Cold Resistance
- Adjustable multiplier (0–1): 1 = full cold block, 0.5 = half cold, 0 = no protection
- Night-only — daytime behavior is untouched
- Requires
EnableWarmthReduction = true in config
Night Cold Warning
A one-time screen warning at nightfall (auto-hides after 15s) when cold resistance cannot work:
- ShootZombies "Night Cold" is turned off
- Current ascent is below 5 (no night cold in the base game)
Dynamic Fuel Drain
- BPR flashlight mode: faster drain (configurable multiplier)
- Teammates nearby: slower drain (scales with up to 3 players)
- Going solo: faster drain after a grace period
Upgrade System
Automatic passive upgrades earned through warmth-restore events:
- Each restore event grants +1 upgrade point
- Capacity and Efficiency trees alternate (capacity first when tied)
- Cost per level: 50 → 100 → 150 → 200 → 250
- Capacity: +20% fuel cap per level (up to ×2.0 at Lv5)
- Efficiency: −8% fuel drain per level (up to ×0.6 at Lv5)
- Progress displayed on HUD line 4
HUD Panel
- Fuel bar (green → yellow → red), drain multiplier, last restore source, day/night info
- Upgrade progress (level, next cost, points)
- 8 screen positions × 4 size presets
- Optional day count, time, and BPR darkness display
Hotkey
- Press F8 (rebindable) to spawn a missing bugle and/or backpack
Multiplayer Sync
- The host controls gameplay settings; clients sync automatically
- HUD position, size, and display preferences stay local to each player
Mute Option
- Toggle to silence all zombie and tornado sounds
Performance Fixes
This mod also patches ShootZombies and BlackPeakRemix for better performance:
- Inventory icons only refresh when the item actually changes (not every frame)
- Zombie UI refresh rate is throttled to prevent lag with many zombies
- Eliminates redundant per-frame reflection calls and component lookups
