Miners Hat

A flashlight on your head for night farming and dark caves. It burns low grade fuel and takes the helmet's place, so it is a farming hat, not a fighting one.

Overview

In-game description

A leather cap with a flashlight attached. It uses Low Grade Fuel and can be activated from the inventory.

Ore nodes in a cave do not care what time it is, and neither does this hat. You switch it on from the inventory, the beam goes wherever you look, and both hands stay on the pickaxe. That is its whole edge over an industrial torch, which you hold and swing like a weapon.

Fifteen cloth, ten low grade fuel and fifty metal fragments at a Level 1 bench, plus 15 scrap to research. Next to the candle hat it costs more and throws a real beam instead of a dim glow, so most players jump straight to it once the frags are there.

Watch out

It sits where a helmet would. Caves and quarries draw other players, and whoever walks in behind you wearing a coffee can helmet wins the headshot trade. Carry a helmet in your inventory and swap the moment you hear footsteps.

And switch it off before you leave the cave. A moving beam on a dark hillside is the easiest target on the server.
