Shingle AI for NPCs

[Sami]

Regarding the upcoming use of shingles as a new light source a little bit of AI  has been given to NPCs so that they can also actually utilize these new items.
      It was mentioned in the earlier shingle summary that lighting a new shingle when necessary is automatic for the player character. Now it's made so that your companions will also automatically set a new shingle burning if they happen to be beside the fainting one.
      Moreover, villagers now also stock shingles and can utilize them to light up their cottage houses. Villagers set shingles burning only when necessary so this kind of lighting in the villages is mostly seen only during the dark autumn and winter periods.

These are future features - not yet functional in current version 3.84.2

I wonder if this means stealing would become harder, since NPCs now have light sources in their villages.

Hmm, in some cases it may have an effect but shingles aren't usually kept burning in the storehouses but in the cottages - which are also sometimes lit by fireplaces.
