Description
This mod started out as a continuation of Better Vents and Better Coolers, and now includes a number of other helpful wall-mounted utilities such as heaters and lights.

Features
  • Overwall vents and coolers: Graphically replaces the vanilla cooler and vent so that they lay over existing walls.

  • Wall mounted heaters: 75% as powerful as the free-standing normal heaters.

  • Fencepost lights: Torch, chemfuel, and electric. Use Perspective: Buildings to customize their exact position along the posts.

  • Wall lights: Lights... attached to walls, imagine that. Supports VE Framework's random graphic feature if you'd like to swap it to variant graphis.

Compatibility
  • Not compatible with ED-ReverseCycleCooler
  • Real Ruins will have floating vents

FAQ
Q. Why are my vents/coolers floating and there's a missing wall piece?
A. If you installed this mod to a pre-existing save game, you'll need to make a few modifications. Coolers and vents are placed on top of walls, instead of acting as
walls. Just build some new wall pieces down to fill the gaps.

Q. This is conflicting with the mod Replace Stuff?
A. The in-wall vents and coolers are now a toggeable patch. Go to mod options -> Vanilla Expanded Framework -> Toggleable patches.

If you update this, could I suggest a tool rack that works like the tool cabinet?

use better vents and better coolers (linked in the description of this mod) for now if you want the same functionality (aside from lampposts)

Owlchemist stated (on their Kofii) that they would be returning to work on their mods "soon" so we'll just have to be patient. As for the content of this mod, only the wall lights are obsolete for 1.5 so the remaining features would be:

-Overwall vents and coolers
-Wall mounted heaters
-Fencepost lights

broken in 1.5, breaks all lights including torches, all lights give off 0% lighting

Isn't it already included in some Vanilla Expanded mods now ?

this is broken in 1.5, at least the wall lights are, and it breaks the new vanilla wall lights
