The Propane Lantern is a camping lantern that burns bottled propane. It gives a bright light that spreads all around rather than in a beam.

It suits anyone working at night who wants to see in every direction at once. It is brighter than a standard flashlight and lights a wide area. Its main cost is fuel. It burns only the small Propane Lantern Bottle.

The lantern is found mostly in camping stores. Outdoor supply stores, closets, sheds and garages hold one now and then.

Using

The lantern is held in the hand to give light. It lights about fifteen tiles in every direction. That makes it good for searching a room or working on a project at night. A flashlight throws its light ahead in a cone, while the lantern lights all sides.

Fuel goes in with the Insert Propane Bottle into Lantern recipe. The Remove Propane Bottle recipe takes the bottle back out, so a bottle can move from one lantern to another.

Research Craft on the lantern teaches Forge Lantern and Make Lantern Glass. Those recipes let a skilled crafter make a lantern and its glass from raw materials.

Upkeep

A propane bottle feeds the lantern only while it is lit. When the fuel runs out, a fresh Propane Lantern Bottle restores it. The bottles are a limited supply, so the lantern suits short term use more than a long game.

Locations

Camping stores and their storage rooms are by far the best place, about one time in three. Outdoor supply stores hold one less often. Closets, garage crates and sheds turn one up now and then. Camp worker dorm lockers hold a few. Tents, survivor safehouses and attics keep one only rarely. It is uncommon outside camping stores.
