They sure look good in your city benzoll! You are right about sea level being too deep for them to work.

Cool Lights Underwater. :steammocking:

If sea bed is deep, I think we can not see the light.
Not that focus does not work.

Hehehe, ya, who knows *g* seems to be rare or unique i´ll work around it. but it´s not really deep water you know ?:) the powerline trick maybe is working only in flat waters like mine hehe. ok, i should build something..l8..

Well drats, because this is way too cool a project... We'll get it. I can't get the powerline trick to work in deep water like you did either...

yap, already subscribed to this and used i guess, i´ll report soon hrhr

I had my choice of raking leaves or working on this :) well no brainer there. I removed my copies and subscribed to make sure we are on the same plain and they seem to work fine except in really deep water. Could I trouble you to test Actually Under Water Cables and place them about the same spacing as the power poles? Here is the link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=541849748

i used http://terrain.party/ to make a height map of my homeland. ya, maybe the map is ready for a upload but i have still some bugs with the ship routes, funny sometimes hehe. Populous, don´t hurry, it´s christmas time :) nice evening hehe

Absolutely beautiful pictures with absolutely cool with the lights working like that. Say, what map are you using? If you made the map, I sure would like to see you upload it. What you found out does give me some ideas to play with and I will get back to you on this soon Graslama, I promise.

soo, i made some more pics.. there you can see: all lights are on, because of the vanilla e-wires. it seems near the coastline the asset will not show up the light, no matter if there are vanilla wires or not. I dont really care about this,, maybe some other, who knows ;)

hm, why do i need the vanilla wires to make the lights shine. I can delete them and the lights remain on. till a reload of course hehe.
i hope the pics explaining enough.

I can tell you the main chanel is too deap.
Populous  [author] Dec 20, 2015 @ 8:29am 
"g" no attitude here. Beautiful pics Grasiama and love what you are trying to do. I wish someone would make a clear water mod. Can you try pushing them closser to the shore right where teh ship is in pick 1? Let's see if we can get some light there as a test.
Ǥɾᴧᴤʆᴧᵯᴧ Dec 20, 2015 @ 7:30am 
ya, it´s no a big thing *g*. ok, i made 2 screenshots. there you can c how the cable is plantet. my first underwater power line was the west to east line and this line lit up with ALL lights! The second line goes from south to north to the bridge along the coastline. Only some of them lit up and the west-east line becomes dark - no chance to bring them up again. ah- erm you wrote the water maybe to deep... there is no deep water in this map except in the deep sea outside the map :) nxt msg 4 teh screenies
Burlokk Dec 20, 2015 @ 5:53am 
Hehe no problem...still got the issue, but its all fine :)
Populous  [author] Dec 19, 2015 @ 10:03am 
I have been working with this for a couple hours and the only time I can get them to fail is when the water is too deep for the light to shine through, like Graslama points out, they work fine to carry electricity like wire underwater... but no light if to deep. Have you placed them in shallow water because you can not see the light in deep water, VERY SORRY GHOST, I MISSED YOUR POST SOMEHOW. thank you Graslama for brining up the question. Please test and let me know what you both find.

i have the same problem, only some of them lit up but the electricity wire works fine, just no light at most of them. i dreamed from colored underwater lights marking my coastline ;), sadly, it´s over ;) #
i use other underground and underwater cables, maybe this could interfere?
Burlokk Nov 1, 2015 @ 2:41am 
:), well i did a x3 for a couple of minutes to give it time to light up, but just some did.
Populous  [author] Oct 31, 2015 @ 6:38pm 
Nice picks, now I do notice many of them work fine and that the game is paused.... let me drop 50 and see if they work with that many.
Burlokk Oct 31, 2015 @ 1:17pm 
Check my screenies
Burlokk Oct 31, 2015 @ 1:15pm 
Randomly they work...but most are grey and "Not operating" the cables non have worked and "Not operating"...so weird.
Burlokk Oct 31, 2015 @ 12:50pm 
Thanks for answer, i will try this soon and report back :)....Yes i use them under the water of course...seems they dont work to close to waterfronts, and only further out in the sea...different depths made no difference.
Populous  [author] Oct 30, 2015 @ 7:07pm 
Say Gho9st B.C Papa Emeritus II, could you try Actually Underwater Cables and see if you have the same issue? It is the same mod without lights. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=541849748
Populous  [author] Oct 30, 2015 @ 7:04pm 
Ghost, 643 people are using these lights and first issue reported so lets see... I can not duplicate the issue so far. If they are two deep they should act exactly like the Actually Underwater Cables, but you will not see the light... so for some to say "Not operating" makes no sense... you say you do not have pause on and they are in shallow water right? I have not seen it with these, but I have downloaded a couple electric assets and had to click on and off the electric menu... could you test this also.
Burlokk Oct 30, 2015 @ 9:15am 
These works when they want to...majority i put down dont even light up and states "Not operating" even with power supplied....i guess it have to do something to do with the depth?

I almost did not post it, but glad I did now. Thank you Vexcarius!
