    With the new 1.6 update during nighttime or just wondering into dark areas of my ship, I cannot see because it is now so dark. Is there a way to restore the old lightning? Or do I need to adjust my settings somehow? Before I could still see blocks and textures, but now I have to have my flashlight on just to barely make out the nearby blocks

    I've been trying different options in the game menu, but nothing seems to change the brightness including the brightness settings. Just wondering if others are seeing this or if it is just something on my end... maybe in my nvdia settings?

    Never venture out at night, here on Earth? It is pretty dark out there.

    I don't actually mind night being dark enough to really justify using things like Lights or Nightvision. In fact, I encourage it.

    I agree that dark should be dark. The problem with the current situation is that dark has bright lights shining through walls, corners with lights shining into them that still have shadows where none should be. Everything is gloomy and just looks wrong.

    I like gloomy, and decorate in vintage Aadam's Family. Some of the visual anomalies, such as light bleeding through corners of buildings or through otherwise solid blocks is an issue that has plagued developers for pretty much ever. Light is a very difficult to program correctly.

    My main issue with this is that your structure interiors are so dark now you have to turn the intensity and range up on your lights. This in turn causes your lighting to bleed out to the exterior.
