    Type: Global

    Summary: Sunlight/moonlight penetrate through earth into underground caves

    Description: Sunlight and moonlight appear while underground, cast shadows and reflect off of objects. Seems to happen more frequently when under broken terrain as it is somewhat difficult to make happen if you dig under a section of flat grassland.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Launch a game.
    2. Find a mountain.
    3. Dig a cave.
    4. Using debug menu, drag time slider to select various times of day/night.
    5. ERROR OCCURS: you can see sunlight/moonlight casting shadows and reflecting off of underground structures.

    Seems obvious, but I didn't find any known issues for this under sunlight, light, underground, caves, etc.
