I can see a thought "in dark" affecting mood, I can see plants growing if there is enough light.
But what else is involved?
Speed of crafting/cooking/constructing?
Quality of things made?
Quality of sleep?
Anithing else?
No, light does not affect any of the above mentioned. (Although surgery in the dark seems dangerous)
I believe the only other thing it does is deter infestations in mountain bases. Those pesky bugs prefer the dark.
No "In darkness" debuff meaning a slightly happier pawn. A slightly happier pawn = a slightly better working pawn. As mood affects global work speed.
Also light also affects accuracy. Pawns in lit up areas are easier to hit than those that are in darkness.
So what about operations? I have a Sun Lamp in my hospital Operating Theatre, which is only turned on when doing operations. I'm not sure if it gives any benefits to an operation's success, but it looks cool.
Thank you A Friend! it is more than reasonable what you say
About the bugs spawning, ArguedPiano, someone in this forum wrote that it has not been found in the code anywere. And yes, performing surgery in the dark..well..its scaring to think about

Believe that was removed in this most recent alpha.
