Note: Not every function from [StarExtensions](https://github.com/StarExtensions/StarExtensions) has been ported yet, but compatibility with mods that use StarExtensions features is planned.
## Changes ## Changes
* You can now make .patch files that are just merged in. That's why the patch files in here are unusually simple. ### Lighting
* Some Lua functions like getters and setters for player identity values, but not every function from [StarExtensions](https://github.com/StarExtensions/StarExtensions) has been ported yet. **The lightmap generation has been moved off the main thread, and supports higher color range.**
* Point lights are now additive, which is more accurate - you'll notice that different lights mix together better!
* Object spread lights are auto-converted to a hybrid light which is 25% additive.
### Assets
* Assets can now run Lua scripts on load, and after all sources have been loaded.
* These scripts can modify, read, patch and create new assets!
* Lua patch files now exist - **.patch.lua**
### Misc
* Player functions for saving/loading, modifying the humanoid identity

* Skybox sun now matches the system type you're currently in. Previously generated planets will not have this feature and will display the default sun. Modded system types require a patch to display their custom sun. Additionally, you can also access now skybox sun scale and its default ray colors.
