thats what i have been using ever since i got the portal up not really early game but daum 1 glowstone= 128 light sources, at least i think
There is no such thing.
I'd settle for a bloody mid range light source, I guess thaumcraft magic lanterns fill that niche well but not everyone likes magic lamps in their factory and wrath lamps require diamonds (as at now at least) or at least mining at diamond level. Not late game but not early either.
I remember Xycrafts aluminum torches, they looked cool and where brighter with a more consistent light level but their radius was only one block wider so not a great improvement.
Also Unrelated.
Wait... zombies can't wreck jack o lanterns/ nooks? I gotta try BnB again. I couldn't make any progress primarily due to those zombies that attack torches, I was underground 98% of the time at least until the invader zombies let in the doom creepers demolishing my smelter casueing a prompt ragequit. At least I think it's zombies I never saw them actually destroy the torches just the horribly scary breaking sounds that I didn't know where the torches till my 5th attempt at the pack. It was a constant "WTF was that breaking sound!!" /sob in corner. I couldn't light things up enough to give my self a reprieve (if there's such a thing in that pack).
BnB is a bizzare pack, it's not the jumping/ teleporting creepers that make it hard, it's not the hunger overhaul tweaks, it's not even the modified tech progression. It's how those light snatching zombies prevent you from establishing on anything that isn't a well lit sky platform. At least it was for me...
