If you know of modded surfaces like Maraxsis's Maraxsis Trench that should be excluded from brightness/colour changes then please post them here!

If you are a mod author and would like to use this feature then as of v0.13.0 you are able to use the following example code to exclude it and reset the colours back to how you want them for existing saves:

in control.lua

script.on_configuration_changed(function(event)
    local surface_to_exclude = "maraxsis-trench"
    local brightness_visual_weights = nil
    -- brightness_visual_weights    = {r = 0, g = 0, b = 0} -- default (optional)
    brightness_visual_weights       = {r = 1, g = 1, b = 1} -- pitch black (optional)
    remote.call("diurnal-dynamics", "exclude_surface_name", surface_to_exclude, brightness_visual_weights)
end)
