Feature description
Introducing the Lamplighter profession to MineColonies would add a dynamic new layer to colony management, focusing on improving safety, aesthetics, and navigation through systematic lighting.
Profession Overview: The Lamplighter would be tasked with identifying and illuminating dark areas within the colony, using a variety of light sources to prevent mob spawning and enhance the colony's beauty.
Profession Progression:
Level 1: The Lamplighter starts by placing basic torches in areas where the light level is 0, ensuring immediate protection against mob spawning in the most needed areas.
Level 2: At this stage, the Lamplighter upgrades existing torches to more aesthetically pleasing light sources like lanterns and light poles, enhancing the visual appeal of the colony while maintaining safety.
Level 3: The profession evolves to include the creation of small decorative elements near pathways and in empty areas around the city, incorporating a wider range of advanced light sources. This level focuses on beautifying the colony and optimizing illumination.
Automatic Decoration and Illumination: The Lamplighter would automatically choose locations and styles (based on the Town Hall style) for placing decorations and light sources. As the colony expands, the Lamplighter continuously identifies new dark spots for illumination. This automated process ensures that the colony remains well-lit and visually appealing without requiring constant player intervention.
Underground Lighting: While the Lamplighter can illuminate underground areas, this task comes with inherent risks due to potential mob encounters. Players can toggle this option based on their assessment of risk versus benefit.
Notes or related things
This proposal aims to automate and enrich the colony lighting process, making it a seamless part of the colony's growth and development. By introducing the Lamplighter profession, players can focus more on strategic decisions and less on micromanaging light placement, all while enjoying a more lively and attractive colony environment.
