I start to feel sick when i stare too long into the welding lights. I wear sunglasses while playing SE, so pls give me the option to darken it without using mods. PLEEASE.

The rapidly flashing flickering and strobe-like behavior should really be toned down. Make it behave more like the grider tool's light to reduce eyestrain and issues for photosensitive / epileptic people.

You DO realize that welders are supposed to be bright, right? Like that's how welders work. Why do you think people wear welding hoods?

But there are no welding hoods ingame?

If you have bad migraines where you literally have no control over and occasional bright flashing CAN trigger it. then we talk. what an absolute douchebag reply to a legit issue for someone.

i can weld IRL "WITH" migraines and light sensitivity perfectly fine due to those hoods, since they block off all the heavy light that is causing eye problems. ingame, after 1-2 hours i can actually get problems with headache's.

Please note that in my case, and i think it's the same for more light sensitive people, it's not just 1 thing, it's the combo of rapid changing of dimned light to bright, and the whole outer edges of the screen flashing, instead of it being a more constant. if it was constant like the beam of the welder is as well. it would be FAR less problematic.

This needs to be treated as an accessibility issue, not a feature request.

Since this is still an issue, I have made a mod that brings it on par with the grinder tool: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2360788836
