[42.7.0] [rev:28118] Flood Lights stop working

[edenwylie]

across two different playthroughs - one in Muldraugh and one in West Point - i found that Flood Lights only work for a while before switching off.

picking them up and putting them down again has no effect, nor does the distance to the generator or switching them on and off. once the Flood Lights go out, they are done for.

i can't tell exactly what makes them stop working, it seems to happen randomly, perhaps it happens in response to something in the environment that seems unrelated. if so i can't tell what it is, but i can say that they don't all go out at the same time, they go off individually and it is not obviously related to anything, including time elapsed with them switched on.

It sounds like maybe the bulbs have burned out?

do you know how to replace them?

because there's nothing on the right-click menu

On a fresh 42.7.0 save with no mods, I'm able to swap bulbs from the right click menu
