Is there anyway to create permanent light?

[Rosten]

So, i'd like to know if there's a way to create permanent light in caves, or atleast light that would last longer then 1-2 days (im looking at you, lightbulbs)

Also, 'nother question if you light a fire in the caves, then go to the surface, then come back 2-3 days later, will the fire remain lit at the same height at which it was when you left, like minecraft where only loaded chunks work, or will the time in caves still pass as time aboveground is spent?

No way to create permanent light.

Without mods, that is.

Woah, 2 minutes and 2 replies already?

this forum has surpassed my expectations about 3000 fold.

 

Mmk, now, can you dig up lightbulb plants and place them at other places?

Nope, no digging light plants

Permanent light would be redundant, since old Charlie wouldn't be a threat at all.

Ok, i think i got that down, xD

Can you please answer my second question now?

go to ruins bring all the recipes at the destroyed pseudo station and make Magiluminescense..

drop it to the ground and there you go, almost perma light..

when the light goes off, just pick it up and drop it again

It used to be the entrance of caves has perma light so u can build your base there. But now thats gone, i just build my base around light plants since they are permalight. The totems in adventure mode is permalight. Caves trees gives off light as well. Pseudomachines are permanent light too if you want to build your base there

Well, thanks guys, now i just need to figure out how to mark this as solved, or just lock it, or hope a mod sees it and closes/locks it

you just let it drift down the line. if you see a locked thread, that means someone in the thread screwed up. Locked threads are a bad thing unless they are in areas that allow you to lock your own threads (off-topic, trading, etc)

Its posible, put fireflies in a chest, the chest glow but is not effective,maybe if you get a lot of fireflies and chest, A LOT!

You can search for pig torches in the surface,kill the pig guardian and surround the torch with walls,so the pig can spawn again but can't get out.

He will do the rest.

Do farms grow if you plant them near light plants and mushtrees? I thought they needed light shafts.

[Spoony]

i think everything grows even without light. As long as its placed on the ground it will grow.

I meant farm farms. Dragon fruits, carrots etc.

[Spoony]

u need a light source to place it, but after the light source is gone, it still grows for farms.

Well you can do what I did, build firepits all over the place in the caves. Carry around a couple stacks of wood. Use those as mini bases or waypoints if you will. And use your miner hat or lantern for mini excursions. Gradual is generally better in the caves. I've been attacked by about 80 spiders at once, and it wasn't fun. I was lucky to survive it.

Did this change at some point? It used to be that farms will never grow underground because of perma-night...

There's was an update a while back that let them grow but only if they where build under shafts of light.

I thought any light source will let farms grow.

Apparently they do judging from Spoony's scrrenshot.
