I think good idea add menu where it's possible choose, what need power only at work time and what need power all time

RimFactory issue. Some of the fabs just don't need Energy at all. Even when work

Nice idea but; it works for all lights even the ancient ones, which doesn't make any sense. It should only works for lights that belong to me. I don't see such an option.

Great mod! should be a part of the base game, great implementation as well. I do have one incompatibility issue which is with Project RimFactory. The autonomous stone mason and also autonomous animal butchering stations use 0 power all the time will not leave standby mode even though they are producing the recipes still. I'm assuming this will be with most of the other autonomous stations but those are the two I constantly use mid save and on. Feels a bit cheaty now for me to use with 0 power but honestly I don't think I can play without your mod now. If any work around is possible let me know!

Genius If Working

Nevermind me, I just checked an earlier save and it was working then so went back to the current and found a tiny gap in the conduit network. Also, good mod! :)

Im having an issue with the electric crematorium, unlike the workbenches its showing as off when on standby so the cremation jobs arent getting done.

wish i could specify in the mod options that this didnt turn on the lights in a room for cleaning and hauling mechs as it waste the very power im trying to save as they dont need light to clean and haul

This has become one of the greatest mods I've ever had. Total game changer, and it doesn't feel cheaty because it's common sense. I did turn the auto-off time up quite a bit so it's not so flashy all the time and it feels more natural.

ah i remember this mod. lagged my game to hell and back on a medium sized colony. beware!!

I also have experienced a bit of a performance hit with 200+ish power consumers at my colony (sans autodoors). I was seeing .350ms to 1.4ms from LightsOut.Patches.Power.DisableBasePowerDraw.

This is great for early game and gravships but does have a large performance impact on larger late game colonies.

@Late It was discussed before several times :)

Any chance to add the fans with lights from Dub Bad Hygiene? Thanks

@monster_domosed: no, 50W is to run the motor to open the door. A presence sensor uses a few watts at most (and usually less than 1W).

@FeelGoodGrizzly, turn them on and then monitor the power consumption, it should drop significantly when they're not in use.

MurderfaceMurderfaceMurderface, that's the whole point of an automatic door: it always spends energy scanning for nearby pawns to open the door in advance

can we add autodoors to the mod? they draw 50W continuously

How do I tell if it's working? I use it just for the work benches (i turn off the saw at work when im done its dumb not to.) the lights don't bother me.

Added mid game where I would manually tune on and off benches. Do I turn all the benches back on and it does it magic from there or what?

Use the Keep On button on the light to keep it on. It will still turn itself off at night on the normal schedule; my mod doesn’t affect that at all

only problem is that it's turning off my wall sun lamps in my onboard greenhouse :( i can't figure out how to make it not do that.

Love this mod, thank you for sharing!

It's weird that my pawns do not turn off the outside lights before going to bed.

I've been having a problem with Odyssey, this mod being installed seems to make it so the grav engine can't detect any of the ship pieces around it like thrusters, tanks and gravcore extenders.

Is it possible to make outside lights turn off during the day with this mod?

@Маринчик I also seem to be getting the same error. Very strange

Noticed that the mech gestater stays in standby even when gestating.

What version of the mod are you using? It logs the version number when the game starts

It's more a question for other users of the mod than for the author - this mod causes a lot of errors with the hygiene mod and gives out fog all over the map except for a small diamond in the middle. does anyone have a similar error?

May I ask support for Electric Alloying Furnace from Expanded Materials - Metals , or should it be always on?

rimpy claims hugslibs dependency but it hasnt updated yet. ignore?

You can check the log when you first start the game; I print the mod version there for this reason.

The latest version is 2025.7.9.20, if you have 2025.6.X.X then you have the old version and you can unsub/resub the mod to force Steam to update it

It's possible, but it's not possible to easily tell with Steam's jank workshop content delivery. I'll try again later.

Are you on an old version of the mod? That issue sounds like the one fixed in the latest update a couple days ago

Mod is currently nonfunctional with Odyssey, maps start with a rhombus of visible space and anything outside of it cannot be interacted with and it cannot be uncovered.

@The Flesh this mod does turn off workbenches when not in use.

@_baseplate HugsLib is not listed as a dependency for this mod. You do not need it

Is Huglibs actually needed as a dependency for this mod? If not, could you please remove the need to have it alongside this mod?

anybody know a similar mod but for workbenches? basically turn off work bench if they dont work on it

Love this mod! Currently though it makes my game start with a diamond of visible space, the rest is like a cloud of war that doesn't go away. Tried to re-sub and its not fixing it. Hope this feedback helps. Will wait it out for a fix.

Had to un-sub. restart the game. then re-sub. make sure the mod deletes itself from pc. fixed the game crashes for me. Took forever to find this mod was the guilty one :) Thanks for the mod!

it works after resub the mod

However, it really does work:

This mod generates a lot of errors and creates fog of war on the map that can't be removed.
Here is an example of errors:

currently broken. it create fog of war bug and color glitch on old save

Holy cow took me FOREVER to find the fog of war glitch was from this mod. Not sure if its my end or the mod itself since I have about 160 loaded as well. Very weird because this mod was working perfectly for days.

had no idea this was causing the fog of war error

Working perfectly, thank you for this lovely mod.

Thanks for providing such a great mod!

Did you confirm you have the new update? Check the version in the log when you launch the game

Nah man, still broken, my game looks like a LSD trip
