- Ceiling mounted firefoam popper.
- Being able to mount a salvaged gloomlight to the ceiling.
- A 2x2 pre-industrial chandelier. If you have Perspective: Buildings, you can offset them a half-tile to center into odd-tiled spaces. They can also substitute a throneroom's brazier requirement.
Misc:
- As far as stats go, all buildings treat the vanilla equivalent as their parent definition... with two exceptions: Ceiling mounted fixtures take longer to build, and as they are affixed to the structure, they cannot be minified/moved.
- Custom placement code restricting fixtures to roofed tiles.
- Buildings are all grouped into a dropdown category to avoid cluttering your build menus.
- Visibility toggle button.
A. They're all grouped together under a drop-down menu. Usually the Gloomlight is the first on the list.
Q. Can these be built over things like furniture?
A. Yes, unless the furniture supports roofs (like columns).
Q. I can't install a mounted gloomlight.
A. Mechnodes you acquired prior to installing this mod won't work immediately. Install them as normal, then uninstall them. Then you should be be able to mount them.
Q. Can the "change graphic" button be less random?
A. Yep. Go to mod options -> vanilla framework expanded -> and enable sequential graphics.

- Also inspired by Teirdalin's Ceiling Poppers mod.
- Vanilla Expanded Framework team for the texture variation feature
