Darkness Divine - Redux

Darkness Divine

Osiris Co. Darkness Division brings you Darkness Divine *Redux*
This mod has been completely redone from scratch to provide extreme darkness to Space Engineers, while also modifying the game's settings slightly in order to make it look better all around.

NOTICE: This mod was designed to be used with darker skyboxes, vanilla skybox is bright and will not give you the intended effect.

Edit: I was able to tweak a few settings in order to keep this working with vanilla skybox, however, a darker skybox is still recommended.

A few things have been changed in this version.
- Darkness on all planets are darker in general. This makes lights necessary when travelling at night. That was the original intended purpose of this mod, and is now necessary again.
- Vignette has been toned down to the very edges of the screen
- Chromatic Aberration (edge blur) has been turned off completely.
- Vibrance of the world has been increased slightly. This gives the world a more vivid look without going over the top.
- Bloom has been reduced and the screen dirt has been removed.
- Emissive bloom has also been reduced, and is no longer as bright. I also tweaked the emissives themselves to be a bit more 'emissive' without the added bloom.

- All skyboxes will appear slightly darker with this mod. This is intended as skyboxes generally ruin the 'darkness' that this mod was made for.

Note: images after video are vanilla then my shader settings for comparison.
2nd Note: This mod does not include a skybox, and other skyboxes may not be compatible if they contain more than the 'skybox' portion of code.
If you need help making your skybox compatible, feel free to ask on the discussion board for this mod.

* If you use my mod in a video feel free to link it to me and I may add it to the videos on this page!

There are multiple Mods uploaded to go along with this, including dark themed skyboxes, different highlight colors, and some simple mods to change speed in your world.
I would rather these mods be versatile and usable with each other.
They are all located on my workshop.

Compatability with my other mods are as follows:

DD shader can be paired with any skybox, highlight, or speed mod on my workshop.
Note: you have to place the highlight over the DD shader mod id in your mod list when you load your game for this to work. The order of speed mods and skybox does not matter with this mod.

Original description: this was created because lights are useless at night on most situations, so i've made darkness ... dark, and you require lights to navigate.
