gnarlytreeman Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 So most of the time once i can get it the mining helmet is my primary light source. Has anyone else found that it's easier/more efficient to just make another mining hat than use fireflies to try and refill them? after all fireflies don't currently respawn. (unless i missed another update). Seems to me it would make more sense for the mining helment to be made with only 1/4 of it;s potential (keep the same lighting duration) but allow that it could be refilled with more fireflies for longer duration. after all it doesn't take much gold or grass to make one at all. atm i've got a chest full of spent mining hats, cause refilling spends a non renewable resource.

Johnnyprofane Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Can't you refuel with slurtle slime and light bulbs similiar to a lantern? That makes if more beneficial in a way but I do find it silly that the first firefly gives 100% while subsequent ones only give 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the truthseeker Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 And having to make a new straw hat each time seems to waste more resources. Of course if you're worried about grass by the time you're in caves, you have a bigger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplex Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Of course if you're worried about grass by the time you're in caves, you have a bigger problem. But I don't like picking grass. ): I prefered the old "you get back the straw hat and pay only the difference!" way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyprofane Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 But I don't like picking grass. ):I prefered the old "you get back the straw hat and pay only the difference!" way...Agreed. Btw simplex I wanted to thank you for figuring out the neat way to hide percentages on armor like on links shield. It's mighty useful. Back on topic though, if only you could burn the left over of the empty miner hats so if you wanted to just make new ones constantly you wouldn't have to worry about the trash. Or just give them to pig friends I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumCount Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 But I don't like picking grass. ):-_- ... ... a core element of the game....^^ next to fill your pockets with excrements But I was thinking this too, why should I use a firefly which isn't renewable to get what one third of a new crafted helmet which is made with renewable items....or is this supposed to not make the lantern obsolet?

HoneyHam Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 But I don't like picking grass. ):I prefered the old "you get back the straw hat and pay only the difference!" way...I found one of those "Killer bee-in-grass field" traps, and I butchered them all. ALL OF THEMNow I have lots and lots of grass. But on-topic,I just prefer 1 miner hat, then re-fuel with some light bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARamblingSpider Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I haven't used the new mine that much to know whenever I like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlytreeman Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 i havn't been in caves much, are the bulbs and slime actually implemented or is it something you use through a mod cause i'm not interested in playing mods.(use in the Hat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was to make you have more body slot options, but IDK. i havn't been in caves much, are the bulbs and slime actually implemented or is it something you use through a mod cause i'm not interested in playing mods.(use in the Hat) In game, non-mod thing. bulbs/slime/fireflies restore the durability by 19%/9.5%/39% respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarlytreeman Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 i'll have to try spelunking more, still though fireflies need more replacement % for surface dwellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeoSS69 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I leave the fireflies around my camp so i can see what happens in the different sections at night. For the hat I use Slurtle Slime. Undergorund I use Lantern and Light Bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotflungwok Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've made a bunch of them, cuz it's cheaper to make a new one than to refill the old one. When I go caving I always grab a bunch of light bulbs to fill the empty ones with. They regrow, so you've got an inexhaustible source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
