Description
Dynamic System Lighting

Starlight is a small and rather simple mod I created as a little experiment with stellaris' lighting engine. It makes system stars actually emit light, rather than light being "emitted" from the dead centre of the system, which looks rather odd.

This mod fixes that by having stars each emit their own coloured light using pointlights, and adds a rather nice atmosphere to multi-star systems, and makes black hole systems rather ominous.

Now Real Space compatible!

ALSO IRONMAN COMPATIBLE

yeh i hear you and that is what i used to do to judge if the mod was working i also use real space. so there are plenty of binary and trinary systems i had access to and still then, the planets had the same light / dark proportions

@RECKLE$$ To check if this mod works for you, go to a ternary system (I use Real Space mod) and locate planets in the middle of the 3 stars, then inspect how much of the planet surface is in shadows. Example: I have a system with two white stars at the center, and one small red star in the border, with a planet in the middle. Without this mod, the planet had 50% of the surface in shadows in spite of having stars at both sides. With this mod however the planet has 80% of its surface reflecting light, 50% white and 30% red, and only 20% in shadows, as it should be.

I think this breaks the Toxic Star from The Toxic God Origin. CTD on upon viewing the system,.

I've done just as TheGrandN suggested and made a Toxoids compatible version of this mod. It's uploaded here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891787560 . @AryxCami, Please let me know if you have any issue with this and I'll happily take down my version or add you as a contributor. Just happy to be keeping your work alive.
