[Genhis][2.0.66] Cloud make everything darker even if lamps are lit.

Post by meifray »

What did you do?
I make a mod make gleba cloud bigger and denser: ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/gleba_bigger_clouds ),
But as I try to fix the biochamber lighting issue under the cloud, I realize lamps also have such issue :/

What happened?
Lamp that "Always On" gets darker under the cloud, unlike the night only make unlit thing darker.
Things with light should always have same light level whatever the daynight cycle or it is cloudy or not.

This is what cloud will do ( with bigger cloud mod ):

and this is what it will be like in the night:

It should be more like the night instead of just turn black.

Thanks for the report. Clouds weren't designed to use the lightmap when they make things darker. I will think about necessary changes to make it work for the next major release (2.1) but no promises.
