Searchlight 2
Based on the work done by DukeDublin: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Searchlight
I have reworked the Searchlight mod to be compatible with 2.0.
What does the mod do?
Searchlight 2 adds a new lamp type after researching the lamp upgrade. This "searchlight" acts like a turret and will follow enemies in its range and cast a beam of light to illuminate the enemy and anything in between. This mod is fun on its own, but I highly recommend using it with https://mods.factorio.com/mod/diurnal-dynamics to get the most out of both mods.
Feedback and suggestions are always welcome; I'll try my best to respond swiftly to any comments.
- All screenshots were taken with Diurnal Dynamics; without this mod, nighttime will be much brighter.
