Description
Welcome,

This mod improves the behaviour of the "Glow Pod".

What does it do?
  • GlowPod
Vanilla
Uses 1 insect jelly as fuel to work 2 days. Spawns with 30 days free fuel (Vanilla only lasts 20 days before dissapear).
Dark Light (Ideology DLC)
Gives dark light to your colony.
Meditation (Royalty DLC)
Gives natural meditation focus. Adds 1% per glowpod to the Anima Tree, Shrines, Animus Stone and other Glowpods.
  • GlowPod Solar
Vanilla
Similar to the solar lamp. Uses 1 insect jelly as fuel to work for 1 day. It is made with three Glowpod pieces (Obtained by deconstructing a glowpod).
Dark Light (Ideology)
You can switch between dark light and normal light for your colony.

What's next?!
Perhaps increasing the amount of insect jelly that hives produce.
Or maybe increase the reproduction rate of the hives (Maybe a bit of this a bit of that).

@Zairya ya, overlight is light at 100%
The glowRadius is for normal light at 50%
Its about the radius (distance) not the intensity

You mean this?

<li Class="CompProperties_Glower">
<overlightRadius>7.0</overlightRadius>
<glowRadius>14</glowRadius>
<glowColor>(370,370,370,0)</glowColor>
</li>

Yeah, it's for "real" sunlamps but shouldn't it work if you set that to 1?
Never done a lamp or sunlamp before... just changed the color or edited plants to need other light levels.

@Zairya I like your idea, a craftable Sunlamp Glowpod. Recipe will be 3 Glowpods and will act as a sunlamp. There's no possible 80% of brightness, it uses a tag <overlightRadius> which causes the 100% illumination.

I'm against the sunlamp idea. Bioluminiscence has its limits and we're still talking about an item for the tunnler players. What you could do, is add a "oversized" version which can go up to 80% brightness. most plants need a minimum of 51% to grow and will still not grow well.

... and with "oversized" I don't mean an upsacaled version but multiple intertwined glowpods (much like the dugtrio pokémon).

absolutely sunlamp it up xD, maybe make an option to tick that for people who don't want it.
