Apothilight

Description
Apothilight is a lighting mod that makes numerous changes to the Enviroment.sbc file to make SE look better in low light areas.

Features:
- Shadows are much, much darker in space.
- Night time on planets is extremely dark.
- Removed the bright yellow highlight that appears when hovering over conveyor ports and instead replaces it with a subtle blue highlight.
- Re-balanced the bloom
- Damage effects, emissives, or anything that glows is significantly more pronounced at night or in dark rooms.
- Clouds stand out more at night (might just be because of the skybox this mod is meant to be used with)
- Probably a few more changes that I can't remember XD
- Dark side of stuff in space is pitch black

It is strongly recommended to use the "Realistic Skybox" mod with this as this mod was designed to work with that skybox specifically and may not appear as well in-game without it. https://steamproxy.net/workshop/filedetails/?id=685761329


The planet in the third screenshot is my modded planet Octave. If you are interested you can find more info on the mod page: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2151052687

The planet in the fourth screenshot is my modded planet Crystalline. If you are interested you can find more info on the mod page: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2130606370

Space engineers' in-game mod menu is having issues right now with subscribed mods not showing up.

I cant add it to the new game athough I am subscribed to it. What had happened?

Dependency handling by Keen is kinda broken. Dependencies of all mods get loaded at the very end of the mod stack, in reverse order. Yeah, I'm sure that makes sense to... someone...

Just removed it as required. Didn't realize the auto download feature worked weirdly sometimes.

I've been playing with this for nearly as long as I've been playing the game, and it remains immutably my favorite choice in terms of visuals. That said, is there are any possibility of you unlinking Realistic Skybox as a required item? There are a significant number of suitable other skyboxes out there, and so it follows that the automatic download can be cumbersome at times.

At present both this mod and Apothither overwrite the default skybox and both the modded ones I have tested and use Realistic Skybox instead (even if I am not subscribed to it). I tested this in a void world with no other installed mods.

Glow or no glow, this is still one of my favourite environment mods out there.
