Space Exploration turns on two lights while you are in remote view:

• a large circular satellite light pinned to the centre of the screen
• a cursor flashlight that follows your cursor

Both are helpful by default. They become a problem if you run mods that make nights genuinely dark, where they end up being the only thing lighting an otherwise black surface. This mod lets you turn either of them off.

This mod does not affect the player flashlight, it only affects remote view.

Settings

Hide remote view satellite light : default on - Hides the light pinned to the centre of the screen. Requires a restart to take effect. This is a startup setting.

Hide remote view flashlight : default off - Hides the flashlight that follows your cursor. Applies immediately and only to you. This is a per player setting.

So out of the box the satellite light is hidden and the cursor flashlight is left on.

Multiplayer

The satellite light setting is a startup setting, so it has to match on the server and every client. The setting defaults to on (satellite light hidden by default). If you do change it, clients may need to restart to pick up the new value.

The cursor flashlight setting is per player and needs no coordination.

Notes

It is safe to add to or remove from an existing save at any time.
