Hey,

While I'm in map view (zoomed in so I can see the primary textures) and take the nightvision goggles from my armor, it won't update the lighting on the map.
It will update the lighting when I close and open map view or when I zoom out (till I have the simplified textures) and in.

This also happens when I place the nightvision goggles in my armor.

I would expect the lighting to update instantly when take or place it my armor.

Greetings,

Also when you go in map view and it is daytime and you are wearing nightvision, after a while it will get dark but the map view wont update to nightvision mode. It will only update until what I said before.

Thanks for the report.
The bug is that nightvision was applied to zoom-to-world view at all. (This can be changed by mods by changing utility-constants.zoom_to_world_can_use_nightvision, but intended vanilla behavior currently is that the nightvision is not applied)
Fixed for 0.18.1

Well, this was the first thing I noticed about first playing 0.18
I have to say i dont like this change.

Sure, it makes sense, but it is rather annoying as i mostly use map-view.
I would like to strongly suggest a research that enables nightvision for all radars.
If someone links a mod, I'd be fine with that too, i just can't find one right now.

This is how it was since map view was added to the game (so no change). In 0.18.2, map view night rendering is 38% brighter than game view night rendering (so radars DO have nightvision effect), which given normal night is much brighter in 0.18 than it was in 0.17, is pretty bright.
