Hi, I would like to request a way to have lightning strike only when there's an entity there, so not on ground.

Right now, In lightning_properties::exemption_rules, I can add "impact-soundset" or "prototype" or "id" or "countAsRockForFilteredDeconstruction", but I would like to add to this list "ground" or "tiles"

I tried adding

Code: Select all

exemption_rules = 
{{
        type = "prototype",
        string = "tile",
},}

But it didn't work

It is good to know this happens but I do also wish you could toggle ground lighting since I could see it being annoying
