Yes! Agree with dRuPpl! Do this to letter blocks!

Light offset Direction

very nice job ... now do this to the letter blocks ;)

This is what they should have been in the first damn place. I mean, really. Some people may argue it takes less resources for them to be like this, but that didn't stop any of the other gazillion light variants. I just don't understand why Keen even bothered to add them to the game in such a crippled state.

on such a cool mod there are so many strong opinions in the comment section

@Fascist Pig Bank you're right but that's such a cringe comment

That's the problem with Keen's antiquated, rigid block system. We need configurable, even "shape-able" blocks. People have been screaming "more block shapes" to make transitions forever. Starship EVO (a one-dev project!!) shows you dynamic blocks simply shaped into transitions. Want neon tubes to be actual light sources? Flip a switch. Surfaces with different colors or textures each? 7DTD knows how it's done. Refinery has the conveyor connection offset on the wrong side for you? Move it. Surely in 2077 engineers could figure out how to repipe the internal workings, no? Want to upgrade blocks from frames to armor to window? Again, look at 7DTD. Need to offset, rotate, angle an interior light? Hell, Starbase doesn't even HAVE a rigid grid system. Keen need to stop dragging their heels and finally commit to making a modern game instead of some pet project. Or maybe license the IP to some actual game studio. So far I can't see SE2 to turn out any different than how KSP2 did.

Why is that ignorant? They both have their advantages. But I would also have liked illuminated versions in addition to the normal ones right from the start.

@NumbCharlie

Nope, the vanilla neon tubes are emissives which consume less gpu/cpu power than full blown lights. Keen have made the right decision and you are showing your sheer ignorance.

Tbh this is what I'd expected the DLC neon lights to be/do. Thanks so much for making this a reality! Should be in vanilla ✨

awesome

Thx ;)

@Ashes Vargrand Thank you, I just fixed it

yoooo that's sick

This is DOPE! Thank you! I have always thought that it was a shame that you couldn't do certain things to neon tubes that you could do with lights. Seriously great idea.

fucking metal

This is how the vanilla ones should have been. Thank you for this!

have an mod error with: \Models\Large\NeonTubesBendUpConstruction_2.mwm

have no data like this

@Desert Ice blink interval 0.9s, blink length 6%, blink offset +10% for each subsequent tube in order

god only if this was in vanilla

This mod needs to be integrated by the Devs into the base game!

@Desert Ice
Two lights, and use a Timer that switches them on and off rapidly, and have that loop every few seconds.

What settings did you use for the police lights? I can never get them to look like that!

The fact this had to be a mod is as damning for the Keen team as this mod is incredible. Great work!

this should have been Vanilla what the fuck? I didn't know I needed this XD

Shame on you Keen, here another missing part of your game

Amazing idea. Thanks.

Great work! Thanks

incredibly well done

This is what neon tubes should have been

amazing, thank you very much!

Thanks for this.
