Uuuuuh damnit!!!

Was there anything wrong with this feature? Nothing?

(I see that open pvp servers usually prefer starting chests, but private games go the other way.)

Thank you so much! Immersion has been restored!

I feel that the functionality just overlapped too much for there to be a reason for both to exist, and that starting chests are more correct in their implementation,
The starting inventory doesn't really solve any problem that the starting chests are missing

I agree. If you just want a private PvP game with your friend, having starting chests instead of starting inventory just means you have to ctrl-click each chest at the start. No biggie. Better to have a unified method for people to learn the scenario with.

Wat about the lasers?

thanks also for fixing the lamps, i had to wait for circuit networks, or use blueprints to get my lamps wired with a circuit network connection to just have them stay on all the time vs the ON so very late and OFF so very soon.

Made a mod to make lamp staggering timing configurable. It changes the new lamp prototype properties darkness_for_all_lamps_on and darkness_for_all_lamps_off (wich are not mentioned in the change log).

That wasn't a bug, it was a feature.

Added optional night vision equipment prototype "darkness_to_turn_on".
