Description
This mod adds solar powered street lights that you can craft from the workshop for your settlements under power/Solar Street Lights.. They turn off during the day and on at night automatically. As of version 1. 6, you can choose when they turn on/off, between 5 and 11 am/pm. Screenshots are welcome!
In version 1. 1 I added 7 different colors for each of the 3 street lights, and 4 different radius options for each one.
In Version 1. 3 I added 7 more colors for a total of 14. They are lighter versions of the original colors plus teal. Also each light type now has it's own sub menu.
In Version 1. 4 Lights now stagger while turning on/off. They turn on/off at a random time between 6 and 6:30 pm/am. This is so if you have a bunch of lights in the same area, they don't all turn on/off at the same exact time.
In Version 1. 5 I added the 4 street lamps from the Nuka World DLC. As such it requires Nuka World. The lights now require the Science 1 perk to craft.
In Version 1. 6 I Added option to set when lights turn off and on from the Solar Street Lights config aid. The Config Aid can also be crafted at a chem station under utilities.
In Version 1. 7 Lights now don't say they require power. Light's can now be used as Pylons to connect power to other things. Filled in properties on a lot of light scripts that were missing from the last update.
Kudos to hamed91211173 for the tip on how to remove power requirement and make lights pylons.
