Medium Dome Lighting - Wrong Side Lights Up

[heavy fiber]

The lights in the model are bound to the wrong half of the panel.
The plants are happy and all, but it's a visual discrepancy.

Notice how the left side is dark and right side is light up (both the light up top, and in the field) while in the control panel, it's the left side that's powered up.

Game version: 0.137.1

😉 Half of the lights are connected; you need to select and connect the lights on the screen to the right of the photo. This will make everything look better. 👍

[heavy fiber]

What do you mean? I voluntairly only open half the lights, but it's the wrong half that lights up in the model.

(Unless I'm missing something)

[fading linden]

That's right, you only connect half of the lights and you need to turn on the other half. It's a way to save energy with just half, but if you want the entire dome lit up, then turn them all on, but you'll use more energy. It's not a bug; it's designed that way to save energy.

[heavy fiber]

So, by design, only the wrong side lights up?

[fading linden]

You can turn on the lights where you're cultivating, but if you want the entire dome to be illuminated, you'll have to turn on the other lights. 😉

[heavy fiber]

... nevermind, I'll go talk to a wall.

[fading linden]

Let me explain better. When you cultivate, you connect the light where the cultivation is, and the other half of the dome is off because you have nothing cultivated and haven't connected it. But as you mentioned in the report, half of the dome is dark, and I respond, if you want to see the entire dome illuminated, then connect the other lights, and you'll have the entire dome lit up

[heavy fiber]

You keep repeating that, but it isn't relevant to the issue at hand, as I pointed out multiple times.

[fading linden]

I think you're not understanding me correctly. It's not a bug. Before reporting, comment in the general chat and questions; there are people who will explain it better, and the moderator too. 👋

Medium Dome Lighting - Wrong Side Lights Up

[azure remnant]

@fading linden I think the issue is not that only half of the lights are up (that's normal, since Yawnder only enabled lights for one side, like you said) but that the wrong side of the dome is lit up. The control panel should be turning on lights on the side that the panel is showing in its UI, not the other way around, I think that's what's confusing. So if you put energy on the left side of the control panel UI (like showin in the first screen shot), then the dome lights should turn on to the left side (relative to the panel) but instead they turn on to the right side.

[heavy fiber]

Exactly. And it's not "the panel is reversed". It's really just the graphics of the lights. The plants are doing fine and behave like if they're receiving light afaict.

[azure remnant]

ah right, didn't see the plants in your first screenshot (since it's so dark, because of the light bug). So the plants are on the left of the panel, power/water/etc is assigned to the left side of the panel, everything is fine but the dome lights above light up on the right side instead of left side.

Wow, what a nice discussion just escalated here 😁 We checked that and this isn't how it should work, indeed. The control panel's UI has swapped places of the parts of the dome it should refer to.

However, since this is not affecting game mechanics and plants are in good condition, growing, and overall happy, this is a minor graphics bug.

Anyway, I reported it to our devs 🙂

[heavy fiber]

Oh, it definitely is extremely minor. Probably hasn't been noticed because in the normal course of play, the dome is often fully powered, or people just don't work at night 😛
