Removed 'starting inventory' PvP option, as starting chests are a more proper solution.

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.)

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?

[Philip017]

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.

[Oktokolo]

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.
