📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Hands-free lighting is a game-changer for resource gathering and exploring wrecks.
- Solid community traction: 177 endorsements and over 11k downloads show it's proven.
- Simple concept that slots right into the crafting system—no complex setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated May 2026, but no confirmation it works with the latest Subnautica patches.
- Only one item added—if you wanted multiple light variants, this won't satisfy.
For Subnautica players who hate juggling a flashlight while trying to scan or collect resources. If you're a builder or explorer who wants better visibility without sacrificing tool use, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla flashlight or want more complex lighting mechanics.

- Craft the shoulder flashlight early—it's a cheap upgrade that saves you from carrying a flashlight everywhere.
