at first, I was a bit annoyed having no light. But after I unlocked an indoor light, I think it's better this way. I can now place the light(s) where I want and even change the color. For building options this is the better solution imho

Very much agree that the large room is too dark at the moment.

I like the *idea* of the area lamp but the current one isn't very useful. Doesn't cast light over much of an area plus the lamp itself is too bright. It's like looking at a real life table lamp without the lamp shade -- the bulb itself is too bright and glaring.

But I do like being able to place a light anywhere since it depends on your room layout. I would suggest a celing-mounted light you can place anywhere in the room. Something with a shade so it directs most of the light upwards to bounce off the ceiling and provide diffuse illumination. In real life these are called direct-indirect light fixtures. I don't know if the Unity engine would support that kind of lighting model though.

There is an indoor light and you can even change to color of the lights if you want

There are only two states. Way too light and way too dark ^^. Still, I love the game.

This could be Unity related too. I have played another Unity game that had odd lighting issues as well.

Go in the small liveing compartment look up, then go into the large one look up, just the lights are missing/removed Lol

This is only a workaround (not a fix), but I placed an 'Area Lamp' in the very center of each large room, and near the controls of the Biolab, and the rooms looks as bright at night as in the daylight. Food for thought - Cheers

Has anyone tried to stack a big compartment on top of another one? Good times, right?

Unless you use a small compartment as an anchor to lock onto, it's not happening.

only one light per room? guess I went a little overboard I have like 8 per room, all around the edge
