Light bulbs not bright enough
They are not even close the real light bulbs.
A torch should not bright the place better then a modern light bulb.

That is what you get for regulating their wattage. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ LED ones which barely work and fry within a few months of use. Jokes aside the games engine is unable to handle so many light sources at once which is evident by the torch downgrade. Not happening

What? These are bright as hell. Maybe check your settings.
My base looks like a football stadium from far away with the lightbulbs. Maybe you arent using enough

What do you mean with, not using enough? How many do you have in youre base?

I have one per Room in my Appartment RL and they are ... lightbulby bright. So what is enough lightblulbs for you in a room to lighten it up? xD

If you want real time lighting your PC would bent its knees within no time .
Game is already pretty cpu intense, now imagine a big base with real lights

maybe a simple light effect that's been implimented in games for a decade now, shouldn't do that, no? Also, you'd think the light would work just find just like every game before it.

This game is super dark everywhere. Since it wears the horror tag badge I suspect this is a feature. Player made lights should work though and actually light up the place. Currently they are so dim it's useless and rather laughable.

If a player can't SEE then there is no game. PC games are a VISUAL medium.

Right? I have 12 lights inside and one log over it's completely black pit of emptyness shadow

Well I got one bulb for every beam. Its not like they are very rare. So I put them at every beam. And why not?
Yeah, your room in Real Life. Are there also cannibals in your real life?

I haven't tested the bulbs yet but I 100% agree with this. Nights should be brightened up. I usually just sleep because nights are just pitch black. I'd much rather stay up and wait on the mutant attack or see good night graphics or something. Having it pitch black just sucks imo.

There is a different between making something realistic and making something completly ridiculous.
As someone said, sure, it's a "horror-game". But making everything super dark has nothing with horror to do, it's just annoying cluttering youre place with torches and lights. And i bet it can even tone down your FPS when you not have a super expensive Gaming PC.

At least in other games, and in the old Forest i felt when i build too much.
