Street lights and lanterns turn on at night. 🌃
I noticed that my base, with torches interspersed all over, looked basically the same during the day and the night.
So I replaced many torches with a few street lamps.

The images without lights are at dusk/dawn. In some images, you can see some lights are still off but some already on.

constructionhammer Technical summary:

  • A 40 tick clock using a buffer is wired to a counter (set to 239 times) that is wired to a t-flip-flop. This triggers the t-flip-flop once every 480 seconds.
  • First, the main lights turn on between 19:00 pm (440/960 daytime) and 7:00 am (920/960 daytime).
  • Then, the houses and buildings turn their external lights on a few seconds later using buffers.
