my question to the modding community is are we going to have a candledark mod this year or are we not getting a candledark from this point on. i love that mod and would like for someone to keep it updated. but i think the devs want it to be a seasonal mod. like around early fall- late fall.

if someone could tell me if it is going to be a once a year mod or if it is going to be a mod that is kept up to date with every new alpha that comes out.

Candledark is the “official” halloween mod, so it only gets updated/released once a year around the end of october. but that’s a pretty terrible/vague explanation on my part, so i’ll just page @Froggy, the mod creator.

There will definitely be a new Candledark this year as there are still many more things I would like to do with it.

As far as I am aware [A17](https://www.dropbox.com/s/e52cuo00cl7467w/candledark.smod?dl=0) should work with the latest version. Let me know if you have any issues.

I’ve just ran though it from start to finish in a microworld. Seems fine. Let me know if you still have issues with a new game. Also, please ensure you are running latest. All my mods are updated to run on the latest branch, and may have issues if you’re running stable.

not all mods only run on unstable, there are lots of mods that run on stable (or on both), but @Froggy always develops his on the unstable branch so they might not work on stable.

😃Ahh I’m so looking forward to see a new Candledark, the chimney last year was so awesome,  
but hope that this year there’d be a cure for wounded hearthlings, however hard it is to collect the ingredients 😂 they’re so poor…
