At this point, not really. However, I will recommend [phector2004’s Torch Mod](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/mod-torch-mod-v2/12950).

Maybe the debug tools ( [GitHub - stonehearth/debugtools: Stonehearth Debug Tools Mod](https://github.com/stonehearth/debugtools) ). 😕

But that’s if you’re interested on debugging or you want to cheat when you don’t have resources or want to spawn scenarios earlier 😝

How do I install it? Putting it in mods doesnt work

Debug tools, do that make commands possible to reset AI/pathfinding or something?

You drag the .smod file into your Stonehearth\mods directory. I just tested it, the game booted fine and the recipes were in the carpenters workshop.

Really odd, I have it there, and yet it does not appear for the carpenter 🈶  
Nor does the villagers have any lights on them

The villagers aren’t supposed to have lights, it’s something you build and it helps prevent low-courage footmen from running away.

Yet, it does not appear in carpenters workshop either 😕

Could you check once more for a ‘Small Torch’ recipe under the ‘Armor’ category. I don’t know why it wouldn’t be loading for you. 😕

Make a new game. Mods that add items and recipes and the like to a game will have no effect on a game made before the mod was added.

Another crucial mod for me (will be less so when backpacks/crates are released): [Zulser mod](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/a10r293-zulser-ltd/11688). It allows the carpenter and mason to craft conveyor belts.
