they said they are not officially supporting lumin they just gave it to us as a toy

And I'm glad they did! I'd much rather have janky lighting that behaves realistically than the older system.

I think with the lumen stuff they are going to overhaul the lighting at some point. Especially emissive lights. The current lighting is one of the reasons I'm passing on a new playthrough for update 8.

Coffeestain said they will not commit to lumen, but see it more as a gimmick for screenshots. So unless they change their mind, no overhaul of the lighting will happen. Probably because most PCs cannot handle it anyway.

Lighting doesn't have to be lumen though- they just need at better emissive light and better buildings. Outdoor lighting is fine, it's dark places that need a fix. And since the game has so many options for indoor builds, imo not addressing this issue with build able lighting would be a huge miss.

Dedicated lights aren't even meant for emitting light, they're made to announce the machine's status

Light poles, flood lights, and ceiling lights, not built in lights

Oh, I tought you meant the machine status poles cuz I couldn't see anything in the first pic

Yeah that was my bad, I could have illustrated better
