**Title:** Wall Mounted Laterns Don’t Produce Light When “Clipped”  
**Summary:** If you place a wall mounted latern on a wall (say a house) and then do a slice or change vision mode to make the wall it is on invisible the latern no longer produces light  
**Steps to reproduce:**  
**1)** Create a house with a wall mounted lanter  
**2)** Change vision mode to no walls  
**3)** Change vision mode to walls  
**Expected Results:** Light should still be shown on the ground and the area around it at step 2  
**Actual Results:** The area around the “wall mounted latern” appears as though there is no light  
**Notes:**  
**Attachments:** Step 2

Good catch 😄  
This sounds like a “lights not in view should not be rendered, for better performance” behavior. 😕  
But can be perfectly considered as a bug or unwanted behavior.

Yeah definately! And at this stage in the game it makes sense 😉 Still refining memory management i’m sure. This would probably be nice as an option to enable/disable! Loving this game SOOOOO much though!

I have some more pictures and it also doesn’t produce the light that is supposed to render at night
