Distant Misfires transforms projectiles into physically simulated entities capable of missing. Fire lights adds lights and/or glow effects to all projectiles, fires, etc. Visible Pollution adds a visible smog cloud which affects gameplay by obscuring solar panels and reducing their output, incentivizing solar builds away from your main pollution clouds. Light Overhaul provides an improved flashlight, increases nighttime contrast, and reduces the desaturation of nightvision. Pro Flashlight causes you to aim your flashlight at highlighted entities when standing still. Overloaded Trains will cause the weight of cargo to affect train acceleration, top speed and deceleration. These can impact UPS and are removable at any time.
