[0.12.20] Shadows don't change with artificial lighting

Post by a;slkd »

This might not technically be a bug, but it does get annoying once you notice it. All of the shadows in the game do not change when shot at with a light, or any other artificial light source.

Edit: Image from an old version, but I've checked and the bug is still in the latest version.

As you can see here, the shadow of the electrical pole is pointed the wrong direction when pointed at with a tank light.

This is not really a bug, the shadows are not dynamically calculated and it won't change until we use 3d, which might (or might not) happen in Factorio 2 or later, if it ever happen to exist :)
