Suit Lights not working properly
Hello all.. Need some info regarding the Suit Lights.. I Logged into my Pre-1.186 Patch created World after installing this update (Mods installed) However, I am not getting the suits lights to reflect/shine on any surface... They are on, and when holding an object in hand, they glow on the object, but are not lighting up the world-space around me... Any help would be much appriated because its extremly dark to see anything. - I have gone through all my settings to see if anything has changed, or any new settings added that would account for it, but nothing. Thanks in advance.

Do you have any screenshots of the issue?

Also, are you using any mods? If so, there could be a mod in place that could be causing a conflict.

Not sure I'm seeing what you're referring to in that picture, Lokki. The headlamps appear to be lighting up the world in front of you.

I did take a look through the character files and noticed that they did change the position of lights, so whatever it is you're noticing, that could be a part of it.

yes, on my printscreen, my suits light lighting up the world but also my tools (and a lot).

If they move the position of the lights that explains with my tools is so bright, but i don't get the point to do that, why the hell they think we want to have our tools lighting up ? ._.

There's a lot of things that they did with this update that begs the question of what were they thinking.

I do not have any screenshots currently of this issue, Dumpshock... Yes I have mods installed (As stated in my post) However, I have tried and tested this problem in a brand new, completely vanilla, Star System start world and have gotten the exact same problem.

The problem being world lighting. At first I thought it just an issue with my suits light not projecting on to surfaces, but I've also found its any light that's being emitted from a light source (Minus the small vanilla/stock lights, while they do show on a surface, it isn't how it should look however.
Plus the saturation and light occlusion levels in the world space, at least on a planet just aren't right, and surfaces and items look white-washed.

Again. I've tried altering different settings. I've tried a couple of different modded saves, and I've tested it in a purely vanilla world.
I have noticed other people (YouTubers) have not had this issue.. So it isn't a universal problem across the board. (Which for me, is even more annoying.)

P.S. Please let me know if you (Or anyone else) would require a Snapshot of this issue? And let me know how to post it to you.. Thanks in advance.
