Standing lamp/ceiling lamp and torches

It seriously bothers me that hand torches and desktop lamps are always on the floor... So I would like that these items were added/changed:

- Torch: current torch but adding a "foot" to the sprite to allow it "stand". If placed next to a wall the sprite changes to resemble a torch attached to a wall. Should include a small arrow or something to indicate which direction it is (due to corners in walls).
- Standing lamp: can be placed anywhere in the floor. It should look like a standing lamp, not a desk lamp like it is now. Basically its the current lamp but with reworked sprite.
- Ceiling lamp: can be placed anywhere where there is ceiling. It could be similar model or the same as in Prison Architect (simple circle with transparency). If there is not roof above it or it is deconstructed it keeps being the same item but its not longer standable by pawns and the sprite would become the current lamp. If you build a roof above it again, it becomes ceiling lamp agian. If there are too many problems with being able to build objects below it then just deconstruct it when the ceiling is deconstructed.
- Desk lamp: current model (or reworked cause I dont like it u.u) but change it so that it can be placed in the floor and in tables, chairs and stools. Change sprite to look "attached" to the wall when its next to a wall, but look like it is now when it isnt (needs the same as the torch, some indicator to display its direction for corner walls).

- Plant pot: to go accordingly, pots should be able to be placed in tables, chairs and stools.

It would also be nice that torches and lamps gave more light. Not so much for the mood but for the players eyes, the lit they give doesnt have to change, but the illumination they give on screen.

I know I'm bumping a slightly older post, but I was about to make a post like this of my own and grave digging seems better than making a duplicate thread.

I totally support ceiling lights, in fact I wish we could do more ceiling stuff. Ceiling fans to gently lower temperature for a low power cost, ceiling windows (skylights) to let some natural light in but maintain temperature, smoke detectors to alert sleeping colonists about fire (yeah you can draft and undraft them to wake them up but that's kind of lame)

more ceilings!

I have remade a bit my suggestion now that I read it again to make it more simple.
