Wow, that's cool!

This is fantastic, I'm so glad you made it as a replacement so blueprints can remain 'vanilla' even if they're in use :)

Okay, this is rather neat. Why isn't this vanilla??

More steam awards for thee, Sir Ass!

- Added a new non-replace mod (link in description)
- Changed name of this mod

+1 for non replace version :-P

I don't often sub to mods but man I'd like to have this one. Subbed and upped.

When I was talking about the light radius I meant only the visual aspect - the modded tubes can look like vanilla, just an emissive texture without visible static lighting. But since you are so concerned about energy consumption and PCU - ok, I will load an additional mod, without vanilla tubes replacing

regarding a "non replace" version mentioned below, the reason for that is even if you set the light radius to 0, its still a light source that needs to be processed /calculated. it doesnt "magically" disappear so it will still use performance.
especially if you scale this up by hundreds or thousands of times.
also, i cant remember so correct me if i'm wrong, but i think you cant go lower than 0.1 on light radius.
so yea, +1 from me for a non replace version!

Finally! I was waiting for this mod for a while! 10X

Weather you do make a non-replacement version or not, your mod is still pretty neat. If I'm wrong on any of the facts I stated let me know. After almost 9,000 hours in this game I feel like I'm pretty knowledgeable on how most of the game's systems work, but I'm not a modder and I could still easily be wrong.

Consider a couple of scenarios such as: a low power build where you don't have much power to spare for extras like lighting. Neon as emissives means you could still quite a lot of awareness of where the grid is or parts of it is. Another scenario would be if you were in a situation of low power or not enough power production, neon as emissives means you could use them awareness lights for halls or similar (like if your suit was dead and had a mod that enhances darkness), and have signs that would still be visible as long as your grid had any power. Also I believe lights effect performance way more than emissives do and get de-rendered (I think based of settings) sooner than the emissives do.

In vanilla neon use no power (I think technically they and conveyors use 1w for the entire grid and sub-grids). While lights however use the same amount of power no matter what their settings are as long as they are on. 80w might not seem like much, but can quickly add up if you go heavy on them.

@Dragon Fire 813 It's pretty easy to do. But I don't see the point. If you want to have a block similar to vanilla tubes - for a mod tube you can just set the light radius to 0, and choose the desired color. Or mb do you mean something else?

Can you make a non replacement version? Having both would give more design options.
Cool mod though, Honestly surprised that no one has done this already.

Oh Yeah!

Awesome!
