IIRC, I think it’s called “Capped” in options. I don’t know, I really hate skill decay so I leave it off.
Build a wooden stove or a fireplace and fill it with wood and light it. Not really permanent per say, but it’s better than turning on your flashlight and wasting batteries. Or build a lightstrip.
Look in hardware stores and zombie drops. The metal cutting word you’re looking for is a “hacksaw”.[/quote]
tips hat Thank you very much good sir. I’ll try to scurry myself to a hardware store then 
And I found the skill cap option and put it on capped, so all my hard work reading boring books isn’t lost after a day

2: Is there a way of building a console yourself? Or anything else that can illuminate an area without costing me batteries? I got a nice little bunker set up, but I have to double back to the starting shelter to get a light source for reading/crafting at night. Which isn’t exactly great.
The “Atomic nightlight” is a permanent source of light. Not enough to see your surroundings, but enough to read.
Bit hard to find though. You can craft it, but the recipe is also quite rare.[/quote]
If I find one I’ll be lucky, but at least I can try to build a fireplace instead
