Duck986 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 why would you make a lightbulb pen if you can go to caves and grab like a few stacks of bulbs every few days with no muss and fuss?

Nogard78 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 You don't really need a pen to keep them in one place. They stay in the same place where you release them form your inventory, so just place them somewhere even inside your base and that's it. Also they ARE a good source of light, even though they die easily you can wear some sanity, or rain protection hat have a cane AND have light at the same time. Also need much less fuel to sustain them.

goatt Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 @Nogard78 I tried free range, 15 light bugs, 12 went missing and only 3 left where they had been released.

kuroite Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I havent tried with lightbug so i could be wrong but i heard that flying mob go over walls only when its fully closed. Just leave at least one open area and they should be 90% trapped. Spoiler Something like that. It work well with bee since they come back at night but im not sure if this will be efficient with lightbug that wander around 24/7.

Because lightbugs are incomparably better? Lanterns prevent you from using tools, weapons, and walking canes. Miner hats and moggles prevent you from using helmets, sanity clothes, and seasonal clothes. Lightbugs don't prevent you from using anything, they're just a free light source. In order to refill miner hats and lanterns, you need to go through a loading screen, spend time gathering lightbulbs in the caves, then go through a loading screen. In order to refill moggles you need to kill depths worms, or harvest a bunch of lesser glowberries, both of which are an enormous time investment. To refill lightbugs you just give them some of the food you already have. Once every 16 minutes you need to feed it something like a carrot, or it still accepts lightbulbs allowing you to get 16 minutes instead of 1.5 minutes per lightbulb. Even on the surface where it's on whether or not it's actually dark it's still going to be more efficient since you're going to be in darkness for 3-6 minutes over those 16 depending on the season. Bulbous lightbugs are extremely powerful and their only weakness is that they can get kill't, which isn't much of a problem in most situations.
