Reflections off metal bases is way to bright!
Just put a metal floor in our base for the first time and the glare from light reflecxting off of it is blinding!!! It's ruined out base and after taking sooo much work to build it's very disapointing that the best base material is so horrible visually.

Carpets and wallpaper inside would be nice, outside it's metal but inside, it's a living area.

That is part of the defensive aspect, the sheer glare blinds attackers causing them to lash out wildy amongst themselves. Haha nah jk, they really need to tone down the reflection, we painted all of our metal brown or black to try and dull the glare but its still shinier than Mr.Cleans head.

Hmm didnt think of painting, guess it's worth a try.

Just type in console r.bloomquality 0 it should be a vid option but it isn't atm

Hit tab to enter the console then type those two lines :
r.bloomquality 0
r.lightshafts 0

It should dramatically reduce the glare.

What's the scale on that? 0 is no glare, 1 is default?

omg did that make a big difference, looks like it will probably also make water reflections dull as well which is to bad. The base is useable now thoug with a great deal less irritation. Thanks.

Note that you have to type this whenever you log in, also if you open the options screen
