You have eyes to see, your viewer have the right to know what the heck is in this black mess on screen. So if you can't see s..t in Rimworld, this mod is for you!

Dependencies
This mod depends on Harmony and Hugslib. Load Harmony before Core and Hugslib before this mod.

FAQ
- Can I add/remove this to existing game?
Yes.
- Is this mod removing "In darkness" condition from game?
No, pawn stil can be in darkness, Mod is changing only displayed brightness.
- Why this exist in the first place?
Sometimes It's hard for me to see what's going on the screen in the night. This could be even worse when you trying to make gameplay video.

Oh thank fuck! Why doesn't Rimworld just have a brightness slider?! I'm so sick of squinting when in caves!

Could you put a line in the about.xml to have this loaded after Realistic Lighting and Shadows? It only works if it is loaded after that mod, and RimSort loads it before.

Ok, thanks. I will let them know.

I think this is a bug with Better Trees, which seems to not advance properly widget position in DoPlaySettingsGlobalControls. It might work fine if it's a single icon in a row.

There is a bug when using this mod that causes the buttons from 2 other mods to overlap.
If you only load this mod, Cleaning Priority Continued, and Better Trees, the buttons will overlap as shown below.

Hello ! Can you update the Github to 1.0.8 plz ???

THANK YOU!

I do want to ask, though: the "Anomaly" Mod adds a very special pitch-black darkness setting. Is it possible, when THAT (and ONLY that) is in effect, this Mod does not apply. My eyesight isn't geting any better, so I want it otherwise, but it ruins the fun of the Noctolith Event if I can see everything.

I'm no longer playing nor have any DLC, so I'm mainly testing with Rainy Thunderstorm at night :)

Ah, my thanks! Through the power of genetic modification I ended up with eldritch horrors capable of piercing the darkest night with their unspeakable gaze - they hated the light and even hated darklight.

Unfortunately I forgot that I did not also have turbo-horror vision, and embarked on a biome of perpetual night, with black ground, and then proceeded to tunnel into the black rock.

Thank you for saving me from eyestrain while looking at my adorable little horrors.
