Hi just wanted to ask if you changed anything with the cave illuminator since 1.3.2 . Do I need to unlock it first before it starts working or is there something else I need to do? I kinda cheat them in to make caving tolerable for me in the early game.

Right now I have about 6 around my base with maybe 60 blocks between them. I also have a few underground in a mine shaft /ravine hoping that would fix the problem.

I will afk the rest of the night to give it some more time, maybe there's a huge network its busy lighting that I just can't see.

Left it over night with a illuminator at the entrance to my mine, one at either side of a ravine and one at the surface above the ravine. No lights.

Closed because it seems to working but still not sure how it works.

I changed nothing except that a player has to place it now in order for it to function - reason for that was it 'accidentally' generating in certain worldgen things in packs which caused massive memory allocation for the host server.

So idk. i didn't change anything that'd mess with its logic and noone else seems to have this issue.
