[Vanilla + DLC] Illumination Sensor

This mod adds Illumination Sensor. Unlocked with Generic Sensors technology, the device allows to detect amount of light in a cell it occupies. When connected to a logic wire, the sensor will send green or red signal, just like any other sensor in the game.

Example applications on a Bristle Berry plantation or above a Beach Chair recreation room allow to optimize usage of your lamps, turning them off when natural illumination is sufficient for your needs. More advanced designs can use Illumination Sensor to detect new regolith tiles blocking paths on asteroid's surface, automate egg delivery to your Shine Bug power plant and many, many more...

After 575720 QoL Game Update, Illumination Sensor is duplicated by newly added building. Normally I would remove the mod from workshop as deprecated, but this one has a special place in my heart - it's my first mod, the one that started this great adventure and allowed me to meet many great people. Also, I really like art made by Aki and it's hard to say good bye to it. Therefore I decided to leave this mod in the workshop with following changes:

If you use this mod, it will update Light Sensor skins to add the one drawn by Aki.
No new building can be built with this mod. Buildings you already constructed will still be present in your game, but no new ones can be made.

If the mod crashes your game, please open an issue on my GitHub and provide logs from the game so I could search for the source of the problem. You can also use it for local download and to access source files. You can find it here[github.com]


... to Aki, who inspired me to do this mod, provided me great assets for the mod and helped me with issues I encountered
... to Cairath, who prepared modding tutorial for ONI and shared her mods' code with community, allowing me to solve basic things with already knwon solutions.

If for some reason you got my mod but never heard of them, I strongly encourage you to check their mods. Most of them are really good, the rest - even better!
