Will resource quality / experimentation do anything with the lights? (e.g., brightness, increased durability, etc)

I would guess not, but it would be good to know ahead of time.

what are our creative choices...

i mean can we change the color of the items or the lights or is it just generic lamp A w/ white light?

To answer some questions:

1. Experimentation does nothing

2. Master armoir schematic didn't change (still requires 250 kelsh copper and 8 identical synthetic cloths). I didn't make a schematic of the old metallic one, so I don't know whether or not if you hold onto the schematic whether you'll get the new or old armoir. I suspect the schematic will pop out new ones, but hard to say. If you like the old metallic ones, I'd pump out a bunch just in case.

3. Can't change the color of the items or their light. Some are definitely brighter than others though.

4. No off switch for the "on" varieties. I was able to place them in a backpack and stop the timer. Placing them on a vendor stops the timer.

5. I should note there is also a bug while makingthe items. The timer starts as soon as you select the schematic. So if you start crafing one, and get distracted before making final completion, you will lose that time. They also decay while in factories. The extent of decay in factories I'm testing now. I'll report back when I get more info on those.

How absolutely, positively bizarre. I'd love to get a look at the DB structure behind this game. Two totally separate schematics for on and off lights rather than a state flag.

Hopefully they will be able to fix this before it goes live:

1. lights decay while crafting them. If it takes you 30 seconds, 5 mins, or 1 hour from the time you get to the insert resources screen until the item appears in your inventory, that's how long will be taken off of the maximum lifespan.

2.lights decay while they are crated and not on a vendor. So far putting a crate in your inventory, in a bag, on the ground in your house or any place other than on a vendor will keep the clock ticking away. This is especially bad for factory runs. You must babysit the run and remove the crate and get it to a vendor pronto to stop the timer. Otherwise if you let the factory run on its own and come back in a couple hours/next day like most architects do, you will have lost that much time on the candle's lifespan.

3. Non-crated items do not decay in your inventory, in backpacks, or on vendors. They only decay when displayed. (Working as intended).

Lepo, can you comment on the fact that the Architect skills screen on TC lists all the lamp and candle schematics as being gained at Furniture2? Is that really true, or are they spread out on the furniture line and the devs just haven't updated the skills screen? Seems strange to have one skillbox be so unbalanced with a massive amount of schematics...

Yep, that's the way they are listed right now.

I would assume that theyintended to spread them out based on the differing material requirements, ie Candles at Furniture 1 (55 resources, 14 day lifespan), Desk Lamp at F2 (55 resources, 28 days), Table-tops at F3 (70 resources 28 days), and Free Standing at F4 (125 resources 28 days).
