Lantern’s Light
[i]A RimWorld 1.6 mod that brings the Green Lantern ring, and its will-powered constructs, directly into your colony.[/i]
[hr]
A Ring That Truly Chooses Its Bearer
Within the first few in-game days (configurable), a glowing orb descends onto your map and scans your colonists. It evaluates their willpower traits, then selects the strongest candidate and declares:
[b]“The Green Lantern Ring has chosen [pawn]!”[/b]
The chosen pawn automatically equips the ring and gains access to its abilities.
If they die, the ring immediately begins searching for a new host.

Core Ring Features
[b]• Willpower Charge Bar & Ability Gizmos[/b]
A charge meter tracks the ring’s power (0–100%). Below 20%, the wearer automatically seeks out a battery to recharge. Many abilities are gated behind this charge system.
[b]• Environmental Protection[/b]
While charged, the ring shields the wearer from vacuum, hypoxia, toxic buildup, extreme heat/cold, and similar hazards, consuming a small amount of charge when absorbing damage.
[hr]
Recharging the Ring
[b]Power Battery[/b]
A simple building (20 Jade, 2 Components) that allows lanterns to recharge.
Recharging takes 12 seconds and displays each line of the Green Lantern Oath as the process completes.
[b]Manifest Battery[/b]
If no battery exists on the map, the ring can create one at the cost of 50% charge.
[hr]
Hard-Light Abilities
[b]• Ring Blast[/b] – Long-range precision beam with adjustable damage.
[b]• The Glove[/b] – A mid-range hard-light punch that can stun enemies.
[b]• Shield Bubble[/b] – A toggled personal shield hediff with configurable HP.

[b]• Flight[/b] – Select any world tile and fly there directly. Charge cost scales with distance and uses custom skyfallers for takeoff and landing.
All abilities consume configurable ring charge (default 5%).
[hr]

A launchable shuttle with large mass capacity, no fuel requirements, and patched transporter logic for smooth takeoffs and landings.
