Sabboth's Ambient Lighting ModWhen Starbound was announced and images of the game were slowly revealed, I was totally hyped for the lighting system. One of the first things I ever wanted to do when things like the director mode were announced was to make a haunted house in the night where you have to rely on your flashlight and you might not know what lurks in the shadows. But then the game was released and somehow the sun could shine through walls lighting up buildings with no windows, and flashlights could penetrate doors from 40 feet away as if they were made of cellophane.
Version 1.0c - Enraged Koala
Have you ever wanted Starbound to look a little darker, have pitch black caves where torches don't cut it, have flashlights that are absolutely necessary, and if there are no lights in a windowless room, the sun doesn't illuminate your whole house straight through the walls? Yes? Shut up, I'm calling the shots here.
Well then this mod is for you!
So with this very simple and tiny mod, I aimed to make the game a little more ambient, and glowy things appear more glowy. This will probably never see any updates other than updating the version compatibility, but I hope this helps a select few that fall into the same niche.
Some things to take note of:
- Lights from objects that create "ambient light" (Ex. torches, street lamps, lanterns) have shorter ranges and do not penetrate walls or the ground.
- Lights from objects that create "point light" (Ex. flashlights, spotlights, etc.) have the same range and intensity as vanilla Starbound, but are unable to penetrate walls, doors, or floors anymore.
- This mod will make searching caves and finding ore much harder! Prospecting and taking time to mine will become more prominent as you now can't see ore underneath the ground save for the immediate surface.
So in the end, I guess you can say that this mod also makes the game harder. Have fun!
Please don't hesitate to leave me any thoughts on the mod.
