# Zipp0o`s ItemWear
### Fuel, Battery Wear & Repair Limits for Lights
Important
This mod is part of the Zipp0o's Realism Overhaul suite.
It also works as a standalone mod.
In multiplayer, drain and refill mechanics are managed by the host or dedicated server.
What This Mod Does
- Held lights drain while in use
- Warmer, more realistic colors to torches and candles
- Placed lanterns / player wall lights are in sync with held
- Empty lights go off and need refill (E / radial for blocks)
- Refill can sometimes break the light (`BreakChance`) until repaired
- Limited repairs on quality gear
- Look prompts show remaining fuel/battery (%)
- Stealth / light exposure ignores dead lights
- Battery items + POI harvest chances
- Batteries can be purchased from traders.
- Automatic refuel/battery replacement if you have them in inventory / toolbelt
- Multiplayer with remote visual sync
