Unfortunate drawback to this mod is that it uses post processing bloom for the effect, if bloom is turned off, you just get a colorless stick.

Would be interesting if you were to integrate this mod with the grenades mod, would be cool to chuck a glow stick. Half the mod is done for you, all you need is a weapon type and copy over all the object code to the thrown object and it should work as intended. I know that thrown grenades are objects just like how you have it so not much would need to change, just got to add a duration and you'd be set.

Maybe too simple xD

@BinaryKiller Recoded Yup. This is a painfully simple mod. Hah.

Uhm, how do I use them exactly? I can't use them it seems like?

Do I just have to drop them out of my inventory?

@RogueCmdr They're definitely impacted by the settings of any skybox/environment mod you're running. The thumbnail is what they look like on mine.

i can send u a screenshot, i barely have any glow. but from ur screenshot to mine, but it might be a visual mod im running

@RogueCmdr They aren't a large light source, they simply glow. They're definitely functioning as intended on my end.

I have post processing on on mine but they dont glow much at all. also shouldnt they stack.. they arent now. maybe Heavy industry broke it like other mods?

You are correct. That was it. Thank you!

@FithPegasus You may not have Post Processing on in graphical settings.

Must be doing something wrong. Mine do not glow. Any advice?

Glow Sticks is it a item you drop or can place them on ships

great addition! thank you for this!

Add the mod to a Draconis Impossible mod pack and I don't see any new items.

I liked chugging the fluid out of the these when I was a kid.

nice

@Valikai Please add a note that 'postprocessing' must be enabled for these to work correctly, I had turned it off sometime ago and it took awhile to realise this was why they did not work for me

"Damn flares could need an upgrade!" if you know, you know

Well, to combat the issue of dropping a single one from a stack, you could possibly make this a build-able item, with the only component being a glow-stick? no welding needed as it drops in full form? just a thought...

@[SE] Bean Glad you're enjoying them. I initially put them as unstackable so they're easier to casually toss out. Haha. I can mess with that if it's something people don't like.

Also handy at the start when you scout out places to mine ore on a planet. Marking the entrance with glowsticks, then progressively as you go down the mineshaft (I corkscrew downward). Handy

As awesome as these are, they could benefit from stacking in the inventory. The craft medpack and powerpacks mod does it with those batteries and healthpacks..

@BloodyHawk If you're using another mod, like a skybox, your emissive and bloom settings may be turned adjusted and negating the visual effect. Try using another skybox or the default one.

@Dalten They're floating objects. They're just physical objects, like a component or an ingot. You just drop them. Trash settings will definitely remove them.

How it works? The stick doesn't shine..

@Dalten just look at the screenshot. If they were blocks they would be axis aligned with each other so thats 100% not the case. Also the description VERY CLEARLY states they are components (made in assembler). The assembler cannot make blocks

Hello, are these objects treated as Floating Object entities or blocks when placed down? if floating entities, are they subject to be removed by trash collection settings?

Im currently visualizing Splitsie yelling at his poor orange compatriot who is running around tossing these everywhere. Or trying to eat one.

@spiritplumber
for me?

For Karl!

Admiral: I think with that ExtraPP settings plugin you can adjust bloom but that will be universal

@FleetAdmiralSolar The emissive settings are dictated by your environment file, which is totally adjusted to be have less glow and bloom on that mod. Nothing I can do on my end. I have them CRANKED haha.

Smell that? Smells like... like... a neat scenario/movie prop ;) if I pick up projects again I'll definitely find a use for these

If you don't rock and stone you ain't going home.

Dam awesome idea..

I use space Just got real and it doesn't seem to light up an area. I can barly see the light as is, is there a way for the bloom or emiision to be turned up?

Look forward to toying around with these

@TheTownWitchDoctor there is a mod that has flares for engineer and grids on the workshop. Very fun to use at night as you realize you're about to be killed by a spider

@Morpheus No, the respect whatever your world's cleanup settings are.

Nice, Do they have any persistence to prevent being despawned by Cleanup?

The other day I was thinking flares would be cool but these will do nicely. Would be good for not getting lost searching asteroid tunnels.

10/10 dorfs approve this mod.

FOR KARL

Now we are able to play deep rock while playing SE. Nice mod!

cool idea :)

@Kam Solastor Until cleanup hits them. They're just an object you can drop from your inventory. Super simple and silly, but I was having fun with them so I decided to publish.

How long do they last? Until cleaned up by the world clean up settings? Or is there a fixed time on them until they stop 'glowing'?

can you ad a function that the military grade one double as breaching charges if shot at?

@Endevours That's my next mod. Weapons Grade Glow Sticks coming at ya.

smh they should be called MILITARY GRADE CHEMLIGHTS!!!!111!!!!!11!!!!11!!1!11!1111!111!1!111!1111
