Purely for immersion but may have information gathering uses.

So for each building every player has on the planet add light like cool looking city lights visible from orbit.

The patterns that we'll see should be interesting. Or complete garbage. With good artists any played created garbage can be masked.

Shader will be compiled at downtime where planetary data is parsed and applied.

And as this applies to 514 as well it should strengthen that release, by being able to see what you are bombing.

And if the planet is turned to the side facing the star you'll have to manually fly the 10+k's of km yourself if you want to inspect it.



OPTIONAL : Each planet type has different looking planetary facilities

OPTIONAL : Make it look good

OPTIONAL : Toggled in video options

OPTIONAL : Facilities that are actually doing anything glow brighter

OPTIONAL : Leave the original cites from temperate planets in the shader
