Hi, I'd like night to be darker but not to the point where it so black I can't see, can someone tell me how to set the mod to almost black nights? thanks

See the \Factorio\data\core\graphics\color_luts\

Ye are need the same, but darker.
See the code of mod to understand how to replace it.

Thanks for the response but I have no idea what your mean.

using this mod if I set the max and min brightness setting to 0 it's still a bit too bright, but enabling the option of "darker nights" causes nights to become black regardless of the map settings.
I'm looking for something in between.

Yeah... I'm trying to do the same thing. I want night darker than vanilla, but not pitch black so I can't see my vehicle at all and run into all the things since the headlights don't include a glow around the vehicle like the character does.

Did you ever figure it out?

The car glowing needs just very simple mode, just one line of code in the data.lua and the info.json
