Big Reactor Steam Turbines and Thaumcraft Arcane Lamps

[GreenZombie]

I like to light my base using thaumcrafts arcane lamps as they are a pretty good guarantee that there are no inadvertent dark spots that could spawn a creeper in my base.
However, building as I am a Big Reactor Steam Turbine, I know this multiblock has a lot of interior space that the multiblock mechanic is usually quite sensitive about.

Is this a problem and how do I deal with it?

hull of turbines dont tick on mobs.

Yeah, they don't spawn mobs on the inside. And since it's an enclosed structure, the lamp won't try and spawn lights in it.

What? How? The lamp will create lights inside any mundane enclose space in its AOE.

I think that all BR blocks blacklist themselves from mob spawning. So no mobs inside or on top. I don't know if TC checks spawn ability or light levels though...

As far as I can tell it only does that when it's in the same space. So if you have a two boxes side by side, and no connection between, it'll only spawn light in the one it's in.

Seems to me like the arcane lamps dont work like they used to, with the invisible blocks that always get in the way. On the other hand, Magnum torches are superior to arcane lamps for base protection anyway and gives you the freedom to light your base however you please.

Even if they spawn inside the reactor it shouldn't affect anything. Then again one would expect your reactor would be completely full anyway. I didn't think there was any advantage to having air inside your reactors. Is there?

The reactor isn't a concern, it's the turbine.

I have an arcane lamp over each of my turbines to light up the rooms they are in. It hasn't caused any issues. I am playing Infinity, so don't think it would be any difference in the DW20 pack.

Ahh... understood. That makes a bit more sense.
