    I want to know about the lighting. In previous versions, such as alpha 7, there were dynamic shadows from light sources. This is not available in the new version. But when using a drone or a hand-held flashlight, shadows are present. Will shadows be added in the future?

    Also, a bug was noticed - there are no shadows from stones on planets in sunlight. Glass does not allow light inside the room. Surface reflections are less noticeable.

    I understand that all this affects the performance of the system, but having a good computer would like to see more graphics settings. These little things really spoil the appearance of the game. I am frustrated with the deterioration of the graphics and the lack of ability to manually set the maximum values of parameters.

    in the alpha 7 version, I was delighted with the quality of the reflections and the presence of dynamic shadows. I will be happy to see the possibility of installing such settings again

    Ever tried the different presets before starting a Game? The FAST is without shadows at all, while GOOD or BEST ...well, all hail the power of your Graphic Card:D;)

    The old true shadows were too laggy even on the best computers.

    I really miss the old shadows, it's ugly as hell having light in the room where you are only because in the near room there is a lamp turned on (light go trough blocks). Even the parallax has been downgraded. So sad..

    Before I give you a tip to have those Shadows back let me ask you what graphic game presets you have?

    I experimented a bit around with the settings between the presets because I have a rather old, but not weak Graphic Card .

    and Off. You can see the difference.

    You may try my settings, eventually they lead to the shadows which you are missing.
    To be honest - it took me several attempts to find this settings:oops:

    But how is it possible that lowering the settings results in better shadows?
