📋 About This Mod

This mod adds wearable headlamps that can be switched on and off like the spacesuit helmet lights, for use when your helmet is hidden, avoiding the immersion-breaking issue of the invisible light source.

Available in two models: Headlamps 01 and Headlamps 02. Model 01 is from the Settler Adventure Hat/Sam Coe's hat, whereas Model 02 is from the Settler Casual Hat.

How to get the items:

- Craft them at the industrial workbench at the hefty cost of one iron each. Look for the entries starting with ZYL.

- Or, get the headlamps by using the console command. Get the ID by typing:

help ZYL 4 armo, then get the item by typing: player.additem xxxxxxxx 1

INSTALLATION:

Download the main file via a mod manager.

Once you have a stable-ish load order, I highly recommend this mod, which allows you to equip and unequip the headlamps with a customisable hotkey.

LIMITATIONS AND WORKAROUNDS

- The headlamps don't have a morph, so they may not fit some head shapes.

- The headlamps work best with long hairstyles without a lot of fringes obscuring the forehead.

- Headlamp 02 has an incomplete band that doesn't go around the head, so it's not compatible with some short or bald hairstyles.

Workaround: Wear the Headlamp 02 together with a beanie such as the Akila Security Hat, UC Navy Hat, or Space Trucker Haul Wrap. (Headlamp 01 doesn't look nice with the hats.)

- The headlamps will be visible when piloting the ship in first person. Workaround: Take the headlamps off before flying. It's a hazard when the airbags deploy.

Note: You'll still need to equip your hidden spacesuit helmet. The light switch won't work with an empty helmet slot.
