Visible Ceiling Lamp

Description
"Hey Muzzy, why don't we hang this light from the ceiling?"
"Because it's a "Standing Light", Francis!"
"Yea, but if we hung it from the ceiling we could put this parka right here on the floor!"
"Well, I suppose you're right, maybe if we just flipped it upside down, and bolted it like so..."

Now your colonists can mount a lamp to the ceiling, freeing up valuable real estate on the floor! It is capable of floating on it's own; however, it is likely to short circuit in the rain.

Packaging Includes:
* Two Standard Ceiling Lamps (1x1)
* * Round
* * (NEW) Square

* One Large Ceiling Lamp (2x1)
* (NEW) Two Extra Large Ceiling Lamps (2x2)
* * Round
* * Square

* Two UV Ceiling lamps
* * Round
* * (NEW) Square

The Ceiling Lamp invented on the Rim is slightly more efficient than the Standing Lamp, due to the smaller nature of the Ceiling lamp, less steel (15 compared to Vanilla 20) is used in it's creation. The method of directing light has also reduced power consumption (20 compared to Vanilla 30). Unfortunately these efficiencies come at a cost to build time. Due to the small and complex nature of the Ceiling light, it will take slightly longer to build than a Standing Lamp.

The Large (1x2) ceiling lamp requires more steel (20) than the standard ceiling lamp due to it's larger size, matching the steel required for a Standing Lamp; however, the efficiencies in light focusing remain, keeping the power consumption reduced (20 compared to Vanilla 30).

While the Extra Large ceiling lamp requires a bit more steel (30) than the large version, and more power (30) than the large version, it's efficiencies are shown in the increase light output.

Similarly, the UV Ceiling Lamp uses significantly less power (1000 compared to Vanilla 2900), and steel (35 compared to Vanilla 40); however, it takes significantly longer to build.

While some miracle of the Rim will allow these lamps to float idly in the middle of nowhere, this will leave their circuitry unprotected! Warranty is voided if used in rain!

Massive thanks to OwlChemist for helping me wrap these into the Simple Utilities: Ceiling mod!

Ceiling lamp is textured, and wired into Auto Light Switch (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1335708049) out of the box.

@GreyTerror: Confirmed, I missed the Mod requirement on the patch itself. Should no longer be throwing those errors. Let me know if that's not the case!

@GreyTerror: Looks like my Ceiling Fixtures patch is missing the Ceiling Fixtures requirement. I'll try to get this updated tomorrow.

1.4 version of Mod is generating a number of error messages during startup:
Could not resolve cross-reference: No Verse.DesignatorDropdownGroupDef named CeilingFixtures found to give to Verse.ThingDef Patient_VisibleCeilingLight

Updating naming conventions to be more specific. Unfortunately this likely broke existing ceiling lamps. Apologies

Patched AutoOnOff properly to not generate errors

Patched Ceiling Utilities to leverage Roof placing, and added to Ceiling Utilities dropdowns (UV Lights remain separate).

Added patch for Simple Utilities: Ceiling to leverage the Roof placeworker. Ceiling lights can now only be placed under a roof if both mods are present.

I've finally gotten around to properly updating, and added a 2x2 centered light. I have removed the dependence on the Automatic Switch mod, and will work on patching it back in.
