Candle Hat

A light you wear instead of hold, so both hands stay on the tool. Dim and cheap; the miners hat does the job better once you own a Level 1 bench.

Overview

In-game description

A hat with a candle on top. You can turn the candle on in your inventory.

Night falls on day one, and you are nowhere near done with stone. Holding a torch means no pickaxe in your hands. The candle hat solves exactly that: a small flame on your head while you keep swinging. You light it from the inventory, as its text says, and it burns low grade fuel, so carry a little with you.

It needs no workbench and nothing to research, since every player can craft it from the start, which makes it one of the first lights you can wear. The light is weak, though, and the miners hat throws a proper beam once you have a Level 1 bench and fifty metal fragments spare.

Any flame on your head tells everyone on the hill where you are. Put it out before you walk home past someone's base. The birthday version works the same way.
