The Propane Lantern Bottle is a small canister of propane made to screw into a Propane Lantern. It is the only fuel the lantern burns.
Anyone who relies on a Propane Lantern needs a stock of these bottles. The bottle holds a large store of gas, so one lasts a long time in the lantern. Its main cost is supply, since each bottle is a limited resource.
Bottles are found in metal shops, sheds, garages, welding workshops and camping stores.
Using
The bottle goes into a lantern with the Insert Propane Bottle into Lantern recipe.
The Remove Propane Bottle recipe takes it back out of a lantern. That lets a part-used bottle move between lanterns, or come out for storage.
Upkeep
The bottle drains while the lantern it sits in is lit. A full bottle lasts a long time before it runs dry. Scrapping a spent bottle gives some metal.
