@james I am worried about the light emitted by Gleam.
Here’s a gold room with only a small hole providing light from the outside :

Here’s the same room without the hole, and with light tan refined gleam and some ornated doors :

I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that on live, the light provided by gleam would be more intense.
For some reason, it seems… a little darker than what I’m used to on live.
The gleam texture does seem less emissive. Like it doesn’t have that same usual punch.
Any comment on that?
'cause if it’s intended and gleam blocks don’t provide as much light as they currently do on live, I’ll have to redo pretty much all the lighting of my build with torches and such.
light sources like white refined gleam here seem to give too little light (not talking range, more brightness)
dark color blocks next to gleam are hard to tell apart (identify whether its rock, soil or something else), as the texture is almost invisible

and it comes up darker in game than in the screenshot here; I was clearing the area and I couldn’t see what I’m hitting, hard to tell the edges of blocks as well
Agreed. I’ve been saying that for a while, and I really hope it’ll get a fix before the update goes to live.
It’s the same thing with the colored bits on power coils. They’re supposed to have a glowy texture, but in testing, they look almost disabled :

It’s not an insane difference in this case, but you can’t deny that there’s one.
If I’ve missed other relevant posts (that have screenshots), please quote them as a reply or let me know where they are.
If you have feedback on this topic, I’d encourage you to leave it here, even if you haven’t been on testing and have seen other peoples’ screenshots, and want your thoughts on the new lighting etc to be known.
