Rather than having the plants rest, just have the sun lamps automatically turn off at night. Would be a huge power saver.

Or make a programmable timer switch. =)

This really didn't behave as expect for me. When I think of a restricted zone I think of all access as limited, including movement, not just work tasks.

If colonists can path outside of a zone it makes the zone pretty useless. Colonists will still wander outside or through killboxes during a firefight even one there's only one continuous zone. It doesn't stop colonists from wandering through a warg wave or firefight in a kill box.

It would make more sense to have zones restrict pathing as well. If a player needs to connect two zones they could manually draw an approved zone path between them, so they still have the option of two boxes connected by a path. This would be more in line of what a "restricted zone" meant to most players.

Sun Lamp correctly displays circle 5 tiles out from the center tile (11 tiles across in total).

Howver the 100% lighting pattern isn't the full circle it's now a 5-tile diamond shape instead of round. Crops on the outer edges of the circle fail to grow because of bad lighting.
