The Hurricane Lantern is a fuel lantern with a glass globe. This is the unlit version. Once lit, it throws light all around, reaching about fifteen tiles.
It is a dependable light for a base or a camp after the power goes out. It burns gasoline rather than batteries, and a full tank lasts a long time. Its cost is the weight of a metal lantern and the need for a flame to light it.
It is common in the Wild West themed buildings and turns up in barns. A smith can also forge one.
Using
Light Hurricane Lantern uses any fire starter, such as a lighter or matches. That turns it into a Hurricane Lantern (Lit). Extinguish Hurricane Lantern puts the flame out again and saves fuel.
The lit lantern lights a circle around itself rather than a cone ahead. That suits a room, a camp or a workbench.
Forge Lantern makes a new one at an Advanced Forge with Blacksmithing at level 5. It takes four small steel sheets, a piece of charcoal, a Wire and a Lantern Glass. A smithing hammer and tongs are kept. Copper, gold or silver sheets instead give a Copper, Gold or Silver lantern.
Upkeep
A full lantern gives about a hundred and forty uses before it runs dry. Refill Hurricane Lantern tops it up with a little Gasoline from any container. An old lantern can also be smelted down as a large steel item for steel chunks.

Locations
The Wild West themed buildings are the best place to look. Their bedrooms keep lanterns in dressers, side tables and wardrobes almost half the time. Their living rooms, halls, kitchens and sheriff's office are nearly as good. Outside those buildings it is rare. Barns hold one now and then, and pawn shop display cases, closets, sheds and attics give small chances.

Notes
- Gasoline keeps it burning, so a fuel can doubles as lamp oil.
- Research Craft on the lantern teaches Forge Lantern and Make Lantern Glass.
- Putting the flame out between uses stretches the fuel.
- The lantern lights a whole room around it.
