In the previous blog , we talked about an improved lighting system. Were close to releasing it publicly, but we love to do a test first! Were curious about the results in different worlds, the performance on different hardware and your opinion about it.

The differences arent extremely obvious when just roaming the outside world, but it does really affect interiors, and its especially noticeable in underground conditions. Tunnels that are far from sunlight are actually dark.

If you want to try the beta, go to your Steam Library, right-click Colony Survival and go to properties. In the betas tab, enter the access code sendfeedbackplease. This will unlock the beta-light branch. Enable it and your game will be automatically updated with the new lighting! It should not pose a risk to old savegames. You might encounter some buggy edge cases though.

As the access code suggests: please send feedback! Join our Discord and share your feedback in #general or put your screenshot in #screenshots. Feel free to leave a comment on this blog too.

Veel plezier met de beta!
