Lights shining through walls
Not a Bug
Hello.
I found that light sources with enough radius goes through walls even in enclosed spaces.
that includes:
Hydrogen thruster with override on
ion thruster with override on
interior light with relatively big radius and intensity
and other blocks emitting light (tuss lights, spotlight, etc..)
While this might not seem like much it is very annoying to see those lights going through walls especially when im inside a ship.
I have the same bug

I saw similar posts from years ago complaining about the same lighting issue and its funny how devs don't think it is a problem at all.
All graphic settings are set to max, no mods.

Hello,
Thank you for the report and feedback.
What you are describing is currently an engine limitation. At the moment, the game does not use raytracing or a similar system that would allow light to be properly blocked by surrounding geometry.
Because of that, strong light sources may visually pass through walls or other blocks in enclosed spaces.
Unfortunately, this is not something we are able to address within the current engine limitations, so we will be closing this thread.
We understand this can be immersion-breaking and problematic for some players, but as explained above, there is nothing we can do about this problem at the current situation.
Kind Regards,
