Manually re-add auto lights

[Naggert]

So, people have been asking for an option to disable auto lights... Which I did... By mistake.

I have just placed a 46 x 77 room with no lights, no possibiliy of going back to a previous save and no way to afford tearing it down just to rebuild...

Isn't there a way to manually add auto lights back in? I much prefer those.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I think you're going to have to place all of the lights in you 46x77 room manually but to fix it for the future you can just click on the 'auto-lights' option in the foundations tab. If it has a white border around it, it's activated

Heh yeah. I had disabled auto lights by mistake, then did 30 minutes of plumping and electrical wiring - fixing every cable in two wings with 400 prisoners. I'm NOT repeating those 30 minutes! :)

Maybe the clone tool works? Humn...

Clone tool does work on lights, if you havent added walls errywhere inside, would be pretty fast to clone a 12x12 area filled with lights and just paste it around till satisfied.

But does it work on auto lights? I think the manually bought ones are ugly...
Sorry for asking but I'm at work and sooooo curious and eager to get home!

I.. What? The lights you buy are the same as the lights placed by auto lights o.o it's a lil yellow bulb when inside, and a ground based outdoor-like light when outside.

Oh.. Oh... Geez... I bought the game 2 days ago.
I placed some lights outside and saw how bad they looked. I didn't know they were shown as a bulb when placed inside.
I feel so stupid...

Thanks for the help.
