Lamplighter

A stooped, soot-black figure about 3 m tall, with an empty lamp-glass for a head and a dim ember inside. It walks the facility, reaches up to each ceiling lamp and drinks it. The lamp stays dark, and the ember glows brighter with every lamp it drinks.

• It hunts light, not people. It's blind to you in the dark and goes for the brightest light it can see, held or dropped. Flashlights near it flicker, and close up they die.
• How to survive: switch your light off and stand still or walk away. Throw a lit flashlight as a decoy, stun it with a flash, or flip the breaker off and on to bring its lamps back.
• It spawns inside, at most one per moon, and not before 10:00. It can be killed (6 shovel hits).

Every player in the lobby needs this mod.

Config

BepInEx/config/daniel.lethalcompany.lamplighter.cfg: spawn rarity, max count, earliest hour, drink interval, how much of the facility it darkens, flicker and dead radius, hunt range, whether its grab kills, whether it's killable and its HP, which lights it hunts, and its hum volume.

With our other mods

• Headlamp: a lit headlamp counts as a light and flickers like a flashlight.
