Well, since the railroads are already completely in the dark no need to tease people about more things. Lanterns are planned to get a bit of a rehauling. Their current implementation is... less than ideal. They're needlessly clunky and slow for no reason, and like it's been said, have no purpose. Their remake, beyond making them more fluid to use(ie not taking 5 god damn seconds to "light"), will introduce some minor gameplay mechanics, which can hopefully be used in the future. You know, typical lantern stuff. I dunno, maybe even a minor quest of some sort as a way to "upgrade" the lantern instead to give players some content AND the lantern a purpose. It wouldn't be anything amazing though, just something.
