Simple Light added to scourge or all servers

[Liquid4653]

Hi,

Would like to ask if it is possible to add the Rust 'simple light' to the servers please.

It looks like this -

I believe this was not added due to the excessive lag it produces in large numbers. If that is the case we will just have to wait for new light sources from Facepunch (like the electric searchlight!)

See the reply from Death on this topic:

It would also be amazing if we could power the tuna can lamp and lantern. Those lights look much more cozy and better. If that isn't possbile, maybe add the plug-in that turns tuna can lamp and lanterns on when it's dark and turn them off at daytime automatically

We use to have auto lanterns that ran on no fuel back in the day. Think it was removed cause of lag issues.

I don't understand how a simple light replacing 6/7 ceiling lights is such a big lag issue especially when on the scourge server there are bases often with 10+ windmills, 3 quarries and 1 pumpjack allowed which are performance issues themselves once you factor all the extra stuff for growing/farming as well.

As far as the simple light being abused, that can be moderated by admins quite easily.

My bases tend to run around 25 ceiling lights which i could run 4 simple lights for, this is a reduction in load, even with the fact the light spreads more with the simple light.

If lag problems are a big thing then there is a lot of things that have to go in the scourge server on that basis, yet, they are ok and still in use.

I forgot to mention I have played on many servers, many times where the simple light is the default light, which is why I like it so much and never had any fps issues because of it.

The Simple Light is available and has been for a while, you are able to buy them on the store rustez.com/store they are roughly $0.25 US. The image for it looks like a strobe light but in game it looks like the one you posted a picture of. They also require 1 power to operate.
