Add directional lights (static and/or dynamic)

Post by Escadin »

I really love the day-night cycle in this game but without proper lighting options it is just wasted. I remember, way back in the ealiest versions of this game there was a mod which added directional lights (similar to car lights) and spot lamps which allowed you to illuminate over greater distances but not in all directions. Is there any such mod nowadays that I just can't seem to find?
Is there any intention by the devs to add more lamps variants?

I think it would be really awesome if we had a spot lamp able to "lock" onto a biter like regular turrets illuminating them as they stalk through the woods in pitch black night. At the same time, I don't want to install one of those "increase all light radius by 1 gazillion" mods which bathe your factory in perma-noon with just 2 light bulbs, effectively removing the day-night cycle from the game.

Please post this in Ideas and suggestions using the template from there. A spotlight that helps turrets aim in the dark would be nice.
