What do you think of the Cyclops' floodlight rays?

SuaveSteve

I find the rays from the Cyclops' external lights to washout many details in the dark. While they illuminate surfaces up close fine, I find I can no longer make out far away details I was able to. The Seamoth and Prawn's lights don't give me that problem. So I end up using them in only absolute to very dark conditions.

Would actually be cool to have other vision modes like thermal and night vision. Hint, hint, devs

They should be stronger.... stop looking at what I voted for. It clearly says I picked the option "They should be stronger"



but seriously the lights suck. they need a huge buff.

I never use them, but I'm sure somebody would get mad if they changed them.

The floodlights don't illuminate crap. They just throw a big white-tinted sheet over half your damn screen.

Add different levels of brightness, like the Cyclops camera lights already have.

After the silent running 3.0 update to the cyclops they're much more helpful (to me to say the least) and I think they are in a good place right now but I welcome any changes to them

This.

Run the test again on different detail settings - you may find that some lighting effects are simplified on lower detail settings. Post results.

The lights are bugged. When you activate them. The 3D cones that are visible outside, render in the inside view. Exit the Cyclopes and go back in. The washed out issue is gone.

They definitely need to be improved, so they don't outright blind you

Good info. Glad it's a bug and not a design oversight. More likely to get fixed by release.

I still think they need to be brighter, as seen in that second image. Even if it's at the cost of widening your aggro radius.

Yeah definitely a bug. The second picture is how its supposed to be.

I would quite like a light-bream, which you can sweep around the terrain as opposed to a large wide angle thing.
