May 28th, 2021 Dev Vlog: How Lights work in Satisfactory
Description
Bringing you much insight into the systems we implemented to be able to bring you lights, the dismantle effect, and conveyor belts!
If you wanna give some of the commands a go that Ben is using in the video for settings for the light pooling system then here are the commands to try out! No promises if your game breaks! :)
Type these into the console. The console is accessible by hitting the § key.
pool.light.lightshaft.count
pool.light.lightshaft.relevancy
pool.fogplanes.count
pool.light.count
pool.light.relevancyMultiplier
pool.light.shadowquality
