It would just make people not bother with electricity

I mean, I'd still use electricity for farming, but with the massive electrical lag we had last wipe, less electricity is a good thing, no?

I've actually been contemplating a lighting system using igniters, tuna can lamps, and sprinklers for a couple wipes now, because I enjoy the warm yellow light from the lanterns and tuna cans much more than I do the awful fluorescent-looking light from the ceiling lights.

I'm with you. I detest the search lights/spotlights. They're lag-inducing and the light they generate is garishly bright. Last wipe, a neighbor added what seemed like a million of them to their base and flooded an entire grid square with light like you were staring into the sun 24/7. Driving through there was laggy and gave me a headache, but I couldn't reasonably avoid it. This wipe, a neighbor faced several of the lights in my window, but that was taken care of swiftly by the admins.

Newly placed solar panels all give 20, but after a server update they give 50. It's an issue they've known about since day 2 or so.

This would definitely be nice for those times you actually want to use your horse and not just have it tied up at your base.
