[2021] slider/option to dim base lights

Heh. Most often I find it takes an annoyingly large number of lights to adequately illuminate a space. I assume you play with shadows and ambient occlusion, OP? Reflections can also make a sizable difference. You could try ‘downsizing’ to weaker lights, like switching out torches for candles.

@>:FrozenDragon:< Yeah, that would be a nice feature, and it should be relatively easy to do since it’s already implemented. They would probably put additional limits on it for performance, aesthetics, and balance.

One alternative approach that should be doable through xml (non-DLL) modding alone would be preset light variants with recipes. Instead of just “Basic Light Bulb” you could craft “40W Bulb”, “100W Bulb”, “Soft & Warm Bulb”, etc. I know you already get that in the prefab editor; this would be a way to get something like that through simple modding.

that's a great idea, isn't there any way you could pass this to the developers? seeing you're a moderator you may be able to get this faster.

another thing is that i play mostly MP type of games, so modding is not an option, as it wouldn't be available in every server.

anyway thanks!

I don't have that kind of cachet. Maybe one day. But I suggested it more as something a modder could do. If the devs tackle it, they should open up the prefab editor's lighting options like >:FrozenDragon:< suggests. The prefab editor already has presets like 40W incandescent. I can already tell they wouldn't like my idea of multiple lights. They won't even do multiple chemistry station recipes for the sake of not having to use murky water if all you have is clean water.
