    This mod should belong in the official game.

    Quick question, is this multiplayer compatible?

    Looks pretty good. I tried it out, but it wasn't really dark enough for me though. Currently, I'm using lowglow from the nexus and shadow-casting lights and that combination seems to be just right for what I like. This seems like a good middle ground though for those that don't like it to be a complete nightmare though. If you ever make a nightmare version of this for masochists like me I'd probably give it the full five stars. XD

    A huge game-changing mod. In my opinion, for the better, aside from the dimmer omnidirectional lights, which can be fixed with a simple edit. It can cause some to lose FPS, however that can be fixed by editing the mod and reducing the number of spreadPasses from 8 to 3 (the vanilla default). All this does is change the shadow smoothing, in my experience, and it reduces the FPS drop.

    Super!! Makes night a hell of lot more scary, especially without equipment, much like it was in early-game Terraria and Minecraft.

    Just one thing though; it makes your Matter Manipulation into a really handy prospecting tool since you can use it to 'see through' the tiles with it. Such was kinda useless a function in Vanilla since you could see it anyway, but here its now really handy. Not a complaint though, I really actually like this function, and scanning around with it leaves you quite vulnerable and its still thematic.

    Oh, and it makes Avian Sun Temples hilariously dark in some cases since they weren't designed for it. Ironic.

      Always find it funny to see the guards in various dungeons chasing me down in pitch black darkness.

    So, I downloaded this mod mostly out of obligation, but now that I've taken the time to put a few hours of gameplay on this mod, I have to say I am really impressed. It gives more of the MineCraft feel of "around every corner in every dark cave could await your demise" while exploring caves and adds a really nice ambiance when it comes to buildings. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants a more harrowing experience as, without lining torches on every visible surface, you will certainly have some close calls.

    I also got to explore not one, but two sewers with this mod active, and, well the only just word to describe it would have to be: http://creepybot.net/pix/1511.jpg

    Really increases the mood (not to mention the challenge) of the game. Dark corners abound, and every nook and cranny must be explored and lit if you're to find ores or chests, or just to keep yourself from walking into some barely concealed pit of doom.

    Oh yeah! Thanks for this, the original lighting.config is absolutely cryptic, I'm glad you deciphered it for us and made these beautiful changes (judging by the screenshots)! <3
