Are you going to update to 1.5?

I edited my XML file and added in the 0.5x wattage multiplier with advanced lighting research. If you were to just add the following lines after base power consumption you'll be all set. <powerUpgrades>
<li>
<researchProject>ColoredLights</researchProject>
<factor>0.5</factor>
</li>
</powerUpgrades>

so great thank you! Surprised this isn't vanilla heh...

Thanks for the interest, everyone! A 1.4 version is now updated including color changing and darklight, with thanks to @quillandsaber for the tweak recommendation!

Since we've not gotten a response, I'm going to give a stab at getting an updated version to work properly (funny that the mod overhead is the stuff that's giving me issues...), but for anyone who wants the full benefit of the lighting update now , just add the following two lines IMMEDIATELY AFTER line 34 in the 1.3 folder's Furniture_OverheadLight.xml file:

<colorPickerEnabled>true</colorPickerEnabled>
<darklightToggle>true</darklightToggle>

I'm positive this mod will need to be updated to account for 1.4's lighting changes. If the original mod creator doesn't want to, I'm willing to take a stab at it; I managed to make darklight versions for my own game in 1.3, so I have at least some familiarity.

update to 1.4?

Can we get dark ceiling lights? This is the best ceiling lights mod I've found so far and it just sucks that I can't use it when I'm playing with the darkness meme.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this mod, thanks so much for making this!!

Wait... you can put roof lights where there is no roof? LITTERALY UNPLAYABLE!!!

yeah jokes aside, that is true, you can do it. idk if it's intentional or not

Is it possible to get dark light options? This is by far the best light mod and I'd love to be able to use them with the darkness meme introduced in Ideology.

Thank you!!

Should be upped! Enjoy!

Seconding that it would be nice for this to be updated if possible

Hey, will you update this mod to 1.3? It's the best ceiling light mod around

I don't know what I'd do without this mod. Great work!

One improvement idea: bundle all the lights into a dropdown category. I'm using RIMMSqol to do this now, but it'd be cool if it were officially done.

Really like the visuals of this. Designator dropdown groups would be neat.

Thanks for enjoying it! I spent all day trying to learn how to make a mod settings thing and it kinda sucks. I'll keep hammering on it for a bit but in the meantime, you can always go to:

"...\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\294100\1529700948\1.2\Defs\ThingDefs_Objects\Furniture_OverheadLight.xml"

And edit the values to your heart's content!

I absolutely love this mod, the only ceiling light mod i could find that is visible but not obstructive to seeing the things beneath it, i was wondering would it be possible to add a mod settings slider for the power costs of the lights/sunlights? as i was considering trying out https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=951619111 better utilities but i much prefer the sun lights

No problems though if you can't or won't you have done a great job! i have used it in every play-through i have done practically

Great mod mate, don't suppose there's any way to integrate it with the auto light switch mod?

Donezo! Enjoy!

I'll look into it tonight, thanks!

+1 to 1.2

hey men, love this mod, its one of those little things I consider almost vanilla by now. got any plans to update to 1.2??

Yeah, for sure. I haven't done that type of modding yet but I can certainly look into it again.

I know that adding UI is much harder than editing XML, but any chance of adding mod options to select the power costs? Vanilla lighting all costs ludicrously too much, but it would be really nice to have more options than just "Wall Lights" to fix that.

Hey, guys! Got an update for ya! I adjusted the existing lights to be more similar to the native standing lamps and added 4 new overhead sun lamp lights! They're more akin to growing lights but with the fun new form-factor! Check description above for a couple pics. Enjoy!

Can you make colored lights?

Why do I get these in my log?

Ahh, gotcha, thanks.

No worries - A light level of 50% is basically the max if you want them to just be normal lights. Anything above that and they start acting like grow lights.

Sorry, I keep getting requests to adjust them up and down lol. It's not intended for them to act as growers, but I haven't looked very deep into that yet.

Were these intended to be as OP as they seem?

Currently in my game, they are pushing out 100% lighting for only 20W. This completely negates grow lamps.

I cannot thumb up this essential mod enough.

My pleasure, thank you for the comment. :)

Just want to say, thank you for this mod and the work you've done!

Glad you like it! Have fun!

I did, per your request! Lemme know if you need it up even more.

Good news! Yet another update rolling in already: I figured out how to get rid of the little wires! Now you can have a really clean ceiling. [i.imgur.com]

It's up and ready to roll. :) Enjoyyyy.

YAY :D

It's taken a few hours but im nor desperate for this again :D

Hey, guys! Thanks for the interest. I'm back and ready to spend some time on this again, so I'll be looking into all those things now. Check back soon for the update of this mod and my others! (Or just expect it to be auto-updated soon. )

Seconding both "please update" and "please increase light level". Thanks for the mod, it is practically essential. You rule.

will you be updating to 1.1?

I’ll check into it!

Possible to make compatible with Auto Light Switch? Or have a similar functionality?

can you make the cables invisible just like the ceiling fans in the hygiene mod?

is there any ways to avoid plants growing under it? maybe adding a mod options would help both those who want it to be a feature and those who wont.

thank you

is a very good idea, but not very realistic allowing grow plants with it
