Darklight brazier

Acquisition[edit]

Darklight braziers can be constructed once the complex furniture research project has been completed. Each requires 50 Stuff (Metallic/Stony, 500 for SMVs) and 1,000 ticks (16.67 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material. You do not need the Lighting: Darklight Preferred precept to construct darklight braziers.

Summary[edit]

The white area (6 tiles out) is 50% illumination, required for best surgery success chance; the yellow (7th tile) represents 30% or better, adequate for all general labor, avoiding mood penalties, and for growing decorative plants indoors in plant pots.

A lit darklight brazier outputs light in a 10 tile radius, with the nearest 7.108 tiles at or above 30% light level and considered "Lit", to a maximum of 50%. The provided light in this area is bright enough to prevent work speed penalties, grow decorative plants, and prevent the debuff "In darkness". However, braziers are not bright enough to grow most crops indoors, which require 51% illumination. Light does not "stack", so no amount of braziers will ever give more than 50% illumination (e.g. for rice plants, etc).

The brazier consumes 1.5 wood per day as long as it is lit. It can hold up to 30 wood at a time, for a maximum run time of 20 days. Fuel is delivered to the brazier by haulers as long as refueling is enabled. If under the rain and unroofed, it consumes an additional 0.0006 wood per 1 tick (0.02 secs), or 37.5 wood per day. It therefore lasts for 0.53 days if in constant rain. An uninstalled brazier both stops consuming fuel and retains its fuel level when reinstalled.

Lit darklight braziers will also heat enclosed rooms to a maximum temperature of 23 °C (73.4 °F) at a rate of 3.5 heat per second.^{[Exact mechanic unclear]}

Two lit braziers of any type are required in the throne room of every noble of "Acolyte" rank or above. Other than the fuel cost, it is exactly the same as the regular brazier - including light radius - except that it pleases ideoligions with the Lighting: Darklights Preferred precept.

Analysis[edit]

Superior to the regular brazier, even if your colonists do not prefer darklight. It consumes less fuel, costs the same material to make, and pleases nobles all the same.

Trivia[edit]

The darklight brazier is rare in that it requires two DLC to be present in-game - it is included as part of the Royalty DLC files, but only appears if the Ideology DLC is active.
