Beautiful Mech Node

Description
Mech node (Gloomlight in 1.2) was designed as additional reward for destroying mech cluster.
But the range of light is so disappointing and it has -20 penalty to beauty.

This mod increase the range of lighting to 12 squares and from now Mech node gives +20 to beauty.

Can be add/remove mid save.

Mod “Simple Utilities: Ceiling” adds mounted gloomlight. Can you please patch it too?

@Thundercraft Yeah I change the name, and I look into patch possibility for dlc to make these beauty changes depend on ideology (To keep functionality for no dlc owners). Probably weekend, when I have more free time.

Also, I think PantherHardraad's idea of it only having +20 beauty if the player's ideology has the Techist style in their belief is rather brilliant.

Anyway, I'd like to see more mods with some support for the Ideology DLC. (It's not like such mods have to require the DLC to work. It doesn't need to be a requirement. They could just provide a little bonus to those who happen to have it.)

I agree completely with TurtleShroom!

Please change the name back to Gloom Light. That name sounds way, way better than "Mech Node". Also, the former makes it clear that it is a light source while the latter is confusing because it does not.

Maybe have the llight be a +10 beauty and +20 if Techist?

I would also recommend that you change the name back to Gloom Light if it has been changed. That name was way cooler.

I was thinking how beautiful it should be. And in the end I decided, that I just change "-" into "+".
Some furniture can have > hundrets and even more than one thousent of beuty.

Maybe I should add mod options with customizable slider, and everybody will set as they want. It's good idea for next update.

I think a positive twenty bonus to Beauty is a bit OP. I mean, I think that Gloom Lights are beautiful too, but not THAT beautiful.
