Slightly Less Magical Electric Lights

You can do some truly silly things with light settings in this game. This mod sets the goofiest sliders to something more reasonable, locks them in place and hides them.

Warning: this will give all the light sliders in the world new min and max values, which means it changes some values on existing lights (mainly offset and falloff). Make a backup if you're trying this out on an existing world and you're worried about your extremely specifically and perfectly lit art piece.

Recommended mods to use with this:

• Correct Eye Adaptation or something similar
  
• Space Just Got Real or something similar
  
• Improved Atmosphere Visuals

What this mod does:

• Slightly more realistic light falloff[en.wikipedia.org] by setting it to 0.5 and hiding the slider
  
• No light offset slider, because how does that even work...
  
• Max intensity of small grid lights is halved (was equal before, for vanilla at least)
  
• Non-spotlight max radius is always 5x of max intensity (so 50m for large grid interior light)
  
• Spotlight max range is always 200x of max intensity (so 1000m and 500m for large and small grid)
  
• Makes spotlights illuminate a slightly wider area and changes the light texture (the lines shouldn't really show up with a light like that)
  
• Removes the haze from all spotlights (the game isn't foggy enough most of the time)
  
• Removes the weird embedded interior light from spotlights (looks kinda bad most of the time)
  
• 2x stronger light flares
  
• Most of this is done with a script, and should apply to modded lights as well (though since radius depends on intensity, stuff like extended light range won't really work unless it also boosts the max intensity)

Some stuff I'm not satisfied about in this mod:

• Doesn't change the light falloff of spotlights (not easily moddable(?))
  
• Doesn't change the character flashlight (didn't figure out if it's possible to parent the light to the camera with Flashlight API)
  
• It would be great to make the light radius depend on the intensity, and only have one slider, to make it more realistic
  
• Would've liked for the spotlight glare to be visible from farther away, and from wider angles
